Man receives
minor injuries
after car rolls
in bean field
A 52 -year-old
Tillsonburg man was
taken to Seaforth
Community Hospital
where he was treated for
injuries after a single
vehicle accident on Aug.
24 at 7:15p.m.
John Somerville was
travelling on Stone Road
in Tuckersmith
Township. near Perth
Road 183 when his
vehicle left the paved
section of road and
Somerville lost control
where it became a gravel

We cannot shield them from pain
From Page 4
some remedy to relieve his
pain. We tried commercial
gels and teething rings. but
nothing seemed to work.
Finally. my mother said to
me: "You know, Sheila, this is
the first of many times in his
life when John is going to be
utterly miserable and you
won't be able to do a thing
about it."
And she was right. No
matter how much we would
like to shield our children
from pain. we cannot. All we
can do is show them how to
bear it and be there for them
when they need a shoulder to
cry on. We can also, I think,
give them the gift of roots.
By our example, we give
our children roots to grow
from.
But there is another gift,that
is just as important as roots:
the gift of wings.
This is the gift of being able
to go outside the bounds of
our own family and function
effectively in the society
around us.
When Jesus could no longer
be. with his disciples. he was
confident that they were well-
prepared to continue his
work.
Parents who give their
children a positive example of
helping others arc teaching
them how to be productive.
caring members of the
community. They also give
them a healthy perspective on
events in the wider world and
teach them how to function in
that world. For example. as
you carry a casserole to the
home of a sick friend, as you
take. time to visit someone
who is lonely. as you air your
concern about events in
Eastern Europe at the dinner
table, or read a bedtime story
about a child of a different
religion or race, you are
teaching your children an
important lesson about their
place in the family of God.
You are giving them the gift
of wings. You are showing
them not only that their
lives count but also how
much their lives can
contribute to making our
world a better place.
Right now you can
prepare the soil in which
your children's spirits grow,
by bringing them to church
and Sunday School and
sharing your own faith with
them. Then maybe they will
discover "the strength to
suffer and carry pain."
through the power of Christ
who enables us to bear life's
burdens.
And through it all. maybe
they will come to realize
that their life does indeed
count and, in spite of many
ups and downs, it is still a
very beautiful thing.
So this fall, bring your
children to Sunday School.
Share the faith and give
them the gifts of roots and
wings. After all, it's their
birthright.
It's in the mail.
