"I may suffer, I must suffer, He means it, He wills it, but let it be without repining, without gloomy despondency. The world is full of sorrow; it is not I alone who taste its bitter draughts, nor have I the only right to a sad countenance. Oh, for patience to bear on, cost what it may!"
~from Stepping Heavenward by Elizabeth Prentiss~
Do all things and bear all things without complaint and life will be so much sweeter. Love this quote, Hannahbelle.
ReplyDeleteI forget, is stepping Heavenward a daily devotional?
ReplyDeleteNope. Fictional journal of a woman living in the 1800s beginning on her 16th birthday.

ReplyDeleteThis is a GREAT quote! To paraphrase, "Turn that frown upside-down - you're not the only one going through it!" I would be such a horrible counselor. Haha
