I never knew her, but my grandmother described her as a patient and loving woman. She had 10 children to raise during the depression; she had a husband who had suffered from depression and was put into an institution; she had a son, who at 21, died on the operating table because they didn’t have the up-front cash to pay for his surger. Grandma had nothing but praise for her mother.<BR/><BR/>This shows to me what great diligence, loyalty to God, patience, and long-suffering this woman, my great-grandmother, must have had. She passed a goodly amount on to my own grandma, who I myself have tried to emulate and hope to be able to do so.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your thoughtful post, and blessings to you.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549190997375771361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-63120222499092253942009-04-02T22:30:00.000-04:002009-04-02T22:30:00.000-04:00Ah, the Lord is speaking to me this week!!

I think another thing, for me, is to just live at peace with everyone. I have had to keep that verse in mind several times when I could have gone off on someone. <BR/>EliseElisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00669663704444452161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-36541577428923223312009-04-02T10:45:00.000-04:002009-04-02T10:45:00.000-04:00This is such a good post and really refreshing and...This is such a good post and really refreshing and encouraging. I noticed how easy it is for me to see the opposite of gentle and quiet spirit. One word kept going through my mind - simple. Not simple in mind but uncomplicated. I can be so complicated sometime, it's really unsettling for those around me and my home. <BR/>I have two models of this in my life. My mom and a lady that goes to church with us. Thank you for sharing these verses and helping me realize these important qualities. I want to model these.Mrs. JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05141245412356555999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-54643821762634796342009-04-02T10:07:00.000-04:002009-04-02T10:07:00.000-04:00This is beautiful, timely, and thought-provoking, ...This is beautiful, timely, and thought-provoking, Monica!<BR/><BR/>Thank you.Amy @ Hope Is the Wordhttp://hopeistheword.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-48477615336209585912009-04-02T08:04:00.000-04:002009-04-02T08:04:00.000-04:00Thank you for sharing this study.

Some thoughts, this is a choice we make. It does not mean that it is a natural part of our personality. Pursuit of the attitude of Christlikeness, gentle and quite, requires pray, God's word and focus on that pursuit. The Lord will try us in these areas to build the character in us. We must continually pursue. It is a process. A wonderful book is Matthew Henry's Quest for meekness and quietness of spirit ~ it is SO VERY good!!!!tammyp ~ still in pursuit :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-79691106704523172552009-04-02T06:48:00.000-04:002009-04-02T06:48:00.000-04:00How very timely.

I didn't say anything then, but decided that I would the next time something happened. I woke up this morning with a horrible headache after dreaming about the situation all night long. I don't want to be the one handling this situation and person. I want God's help. I was just thinking that being bold in a situation like this didn't feel right. At all. Then I read your post. I needed the reminder. I should already know better at this season in my life. But, I forgot. Thank you so much for your reminder my little sister in Christ.<BR/><BR/>Blessings to you and yours!<BR/><BR/>ValerieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
