You must realize that it is the ordinary way of God's dealings with us that our ideas do not work out speedily and efficiently as we would like them to.

I have learned over the years that Providence is always a whole lot wiser than any of us, and that there are always not only good reasons, but the very best reasons for the delays and blocks that often seem to us so frustrating and absurd.
