"We are always on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things." ― Henry Ward Beecher Topic(s): God Tags: always More From Henry Ward Beecher "Of all the music that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating of a loving heart." "We sleep, but the loom of life never stops, and the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up in the morning." "I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note – torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one."
