A Thought for the Week
We make mistakes, or what we
call such. The nature that could
make such mistakes exactly needs,
and in the goodness of the dear God
is given, the living of it out. And
beyond this, I believe 'more, that in
the pure and patient living of it out
we come to find that we have fallen
not into hopeless confusion of our
own wild, ignorant 'making, but
that the emerging is into his blessed
order; that he is forever making
up for us our own doing. Mrs.
A. D. T Whitney.
