There is nothing - no circumstance, no trouble, no testing - that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has gone past God and past Christ right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to Him and accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no trial will ever disarm me, no circumstance will cause my to fret - for I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is! That is the rest of victory!

ICING
Preheat oven to 300. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, soda, cinnamon,
ginger, and allspice. Mix until blended well. In a large mixing bowl, beat
sugar and butter at medium speed until mixture forms a grainy paste and
scrape sides of bowl. Add molasses and egg and beat until light and fluffy.
Add flour mixture and apricots and blend at a low speed just until
combined. Do not overmix. Divide dough in half and shape each half into a
roll about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap rolls in waxed paper and chill
until firm. Slice cookies 1/2-inch thick and place on ungreased cookie
sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake 25-30 minutes until cookies are set.
Transfer to cool surface.
Icing: blend sugar, milk, and extract in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle
cookies with icing.
