Saying good night to the mountains, the sun throws his most beautiful rays to them, that they may not forget him till the morning.
Johanna SpyriGod certainly knows of some happiness for us which He is going to bring out of the trouble, only we must have patience and not run away. And then all at once something happens and we see clearly ourselves that God has had some good thought in His mind all along; but because we cannot see things beforehand, and only know how dreadfully miserable we are, we think it is always going to be so.
Johanna SpyriGo now and wash yourself first, for the sun will laugh at you if he sees how dirty you are.
Johanna Spyri
