Both gentleness and meekness are born of power, not weakness. There is a pseudo-gentleness that is effeminate, and there is a pseudo-meekness that is cowardly. But a Christian is to be gentle and meek because those are Godlike virtues… We should never be afraid, therefore, that the gentleness of the Spirit means weakness of character. It takes strength, God’s strength, to be truly gentle.

Praise His Name !
The explosives have been recovered ! Plus my daughter had a safe
and uneventful trip home to be with us.
Last night tornados were all around this area of Texas and we were
spared any problems. Damaging winds and hail that also accompanied the
storms stayed away from us. Lots of lightning but nothing like those in
other areas.
We felt safe in His care.

His mercy is never ending.

Lovingly,
Pat in Texas
