Quotes by Mrs. H. F. Jackson
Most men call fretting a minor fault, a foible, and not a vice. There is no vice except drunkenness which can so utterly destroy the peace, the happiness of a home. -— filed under Fretting
We want to know more than the silent God deems it good to tell; to understand the "why" which He bids us wait to ask; to see the path which He has spread on purpose in the dark. The Infinite Father does not stand by us to be catechised, and explain Himself to our vain mind; He is here for our trust. Like a blind spinner in the sun, I tread my days. I know that all the threads will run Appointed ways; I know each day will bring its task, And being blind, no more I ask. I do not know the use or name Of that I spin; I only know that some one came And laid within My hand the thread, and said, "Since you Are blind, but one thing you can do." -— filed under Trust In God
