“My life is but a weaving between my God andme. I cannot choose the colours, He weavethsteadily. Oft’ times He weaveth sorrow; and Iin foolish pride Forget He sees the upper andI the underside. Not ’til the loom is silent and theshuttles cease to fly will God unroll thecanvas and reveal the reason why. The dark threads are as needful in theweaver’s skillful hand as the threads ofgold and silver in the pattern He has plannedHe knows, He loves, He cares; nothing thistruth can dim.He gives the very best to those who leave theChoice to Him.”
