A Lesson in Morale

From the September 1971 issue of The Christian Science Journal

Such heart-searching thoughts bring to my mind one of those apparently minor incidents which sometimes turn our attention to major lessons. It occurred at a time when a sense of discouragement and low morale had impelled me to seek comfort in a walk across a huge freshly mowed field. Plodding along, I noticed a tiny raspberry bush tucked deep in the stubble about my feet. It stood only an inch or so tall and had but one leaf, not more than an inch across; yet it triumphantly bore a large and perfect red berry.
