During the Second World War , John’s family didn’t have a washing machine. Therefore ,  clothes clean became a problem for them.
Before long , a family friend decided  the army and his wife was going with him. John’s family told them that they could take care of their furniture while they were  away. the family’s surprise, the friend suggested they should use his Bendix washing machine. “   would be better for it to be used , rather than sitting   ,” He said.
Young John helped with the washing , and he developed a deep love of the old , green Benxid machine.   , the war ended and the family’s friend returned. When he came to take the machine away. John became very sad. His mother saw this and said to him, “ Son, you must remember that machine didn’t belong to us at   . It was a gift for us to be able to use it for such a long time. So , instead of  sad about the loss , let’s be grateful that we were able to use it at that time.”
We have all experienced loss : loss of people and things. However , if we see the thing we have lost as a gift that we were   for a time, maybe the  memories will change into thankful one.
