A time for reflection

God Knows
I said to the man who
stood at the Gate of the Year,
"Give me a light that I
may tread safely into the unknown"
And he replied,
"Go out into the
darkness, and put your hand into the Hand of God.
That shall be to you
better than light, and safer than a known way."
Minnie Louise Haskins
1875-1957
From the Christmas radio
broadcast by King George VI 1939
Continued...
So I went forth and finding the Hand of God
Trod gladly into the night.
He led me towards the hills
And the breaking of day in the lone east.
So heart be still!
What need our human life to know
If God hath comprehension?
In all the dizzy strife of things
Both high and low,
God hideth his intention.
