The little losses and changes we meet with in our way through life—are designed to remind us of, and prepare us for the great change which awaits us at the end of it. May the Lord grant that we may find His mercy in that solemn hour!
I'm angry with myself that I'm unable to rejoice from my heart and be thankful to God... I am joyful in spirit but I am sad according to the flesh.... It's strange to know that she is surely at peace... and yet to grieve so much.
