Daily life Quote by Lettie B. Cowman
““We climbed the height by the zigzag path And wondered why—until We understood it was made zigzag To break the force of the hill. A road straight up would prove too steep For the traveler’s feet to tread; The thought was kind in its wise design Of a zigzag path instead. It is often so in our daily life; We fail to understand That the twisting way our feet must tread By love alone was planned. Then murmur not at the winding way, It is our Father’s will To lead us Home by the zigzag path, To break the force of the hill. ANONYMOUS””
