An Angel's HandThe gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, and yet within our reac h, is joy. There is radiance and glory in darkness could we but see; a nd to see we have only to look. Life is so generous a giver, but we, judgi ng its gifts by their covering, cast them away as ugly, or heavy, or har d. Remove the covering and you will find beneath it a living splendor wov en of love, by wisdom, with power. Welcome it, grasp it, and you touch t he angel's hand that brings it to you.Everything that we call a trial, a sorrow, or a duty- believe me, that ang el's hand is there. - Ernest Temple Hargrove
