"Happiness and Marriage"

_Your Own_ will come to you, and all creation
can't hinder it--IF you keep that man was NOT what I longed for, a real
comrade; sweet and cool, and free in your own mind, and make the best of
THIS day as it comes along.
Ages ago I had a similar experience to yours. I found the only and
original one intended for me. But I was tied to another man--NOT by a
ceremony, for that ties nobody, but by my own conscience, which
compelled me to "stand by" the man I thought "needed" me. So I stood,
though I thought my heart was broken. In a few years I found that my
soul mate was no mate at all!--I wouldn't have had him as a gracious
gift! I felt like Ben Franklin who, as a barefooted boy, resolved that
when he grew up and had pennies he would buy a stick of red striped
peppermint candy; but when he grew up and had the pennies he didn't want
the candy.
I have learned to smile at that experience as the bitterest and sweetest
of my past life, and the source of volumes of wisdom. The _Law of
Attraction knew_ and the Law kept him from me. I afterward found the
real comrade, and _more_ than the joy I thought I had forever missed!
"We are pretty silly children, dearie, without the child's best quality,
TRUST.
