[Uncle Titus and His Visit to the Country by Johanna Spyri]@TWC D-Link bookUncle Titus and His Visit to the Country CHAPTER I 8/9
"It is only for the moment that your good aunt allows herself to be so overwhelmed with care and worry as to forget who governs all wisely.
She is a good woman, and in her heart she places her trust in God's goodness. She soon comes to herself again." Dora was silent for a while, and then she said thoughtfully, "Papa, how can we help being 'overwhelmed with care and worry ?' and 'killed with anxiety,' as Aunt Ninette said." "By always remembering that everything comes to us from the good God, my dear child.
When we are happy, we must think of Him and thank Him; when sorrow comes we must not be frightened and distressed, for we know that the good God sends it, and that it will be for our good.
So we shall never be 'overwhelmed with care and worry,' for even when some bitter trouble comes, in which we can see no help nor escape, we know that God can bring good out of what seems to us wholly evil.
Will you try to think of this, my child? for sorrow comes to all, and you will not escape it more than another.
