Not always; sometimes He, Who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me In weary ways, where heavy shadows be. And "by still waters" ? No, not always so; Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow, And o'er my soul the waves and billows go. But when the storm beats loudest, and I cry Aloud for help, the Master standeth by, And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I." So, where He leads me, I can safely go, And in the blest hereafter I shall know Why, in His wisdom, He hath led me so.  ... Anonymous    July 24, 1998  Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  If thou shalt remain faithful and zealous in labour, doubt not that God shall be faithful and bountiful in rewarding thee. It is thy duty to have a good hope that thou wilt attain the victory: but thou must not fall into security lest thou become slothful or lifted up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My husband and I just thought he needs to be in this one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33894]]></link><description><![CDATA[My husband and I just thought he needs to be in this one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was really tired of words like 'plus size,' 'round' and 'large.'
