It was hard to part with my child. His sad little face, as I left him, was before me day and night; yet in the strength of the Lord I put him out of my mind, and sought to do others good. {LS 120.3}

Det var hårdt at skilles med mit barn. Hans bedrøvede lille ansigt, da jeg forlod ham, var foran mig dag og nat; alligevel tog jeg ham ud af mine tanker ved Herrens styrke og søgte at gøre andre godt.
