“Whether it be a curse or a blessing, I can’t say. All we can see is a fragment. Who can say what will come next?”

—  Max Lucado

"The Old Man and the White Horse"
In the Eye of the Storm (1991)
Context: All I know is that the stable is empty, and the horse is gone. The rest I don’t know. Whether it be a curse or a blessing, I can’t say. All we can see is a fragment. Who can say what will come next?
