My wish for today.....to let the gentle side of me shine through
*******
Gentle spirit
Dwell in me
By helping me
to show
Loving kindness
and
Gratitude
In all I do today
******
"Remembering that when you leave this earth,
you can take nothing that you have received.....
but only what you have given;
a full heart enriched by
honest service
love
sacrifice
and
courage."
{Francis of Assisi..."letters to rulers of the people"}

"Thy gentleness hath made me great"
{II Samuel 22:36}

The lovely blue egg was a gift given to me yesterday by my lovely daughter Ali
{love you Ali....you inspired this post and you inspire me}

Thank you so much for speaking to my spirit today. I am a single mom and most of the time I have to be tough and on-guard. I work as a Safety Coordinator and that requires me to be straight forward and strict with regulations. I don't often remind myself to be gentle. Today I will remember to "...to let the gentle side of me shine through".

This was a wonderful post for me...today would have been my father-in-law's 69th birthday, had he not passed away 3 weeks ago. He was such a warm, gentle,, loving person, and it is so true what you wrote here...the only way to really be remembered is to have given of your love and kindness! Have a great week at school with the kiddos! Love the egg :)

Thank you for sharing this beautiful and inspiring post. Yes I agree, we should be grateful for the things we have (and didn't have, that we don't want). 'Whatever we think about and thank about, we bring about..' I count my blessings before I sleep every night.
Your daughter is so sweet! She must have a gentle spirit just like her mom :)
Rheea

Hi Koralee, what a special gift to receive from your daughter! My greatest joy is being a parent,our kids always surprise and delight us when we least expect it. I love the verse, thank-you so much for sharing, we need more gentleness in our universe. I also gave my son the same middle name as that saint, whilst my other sons middle name is Paris!Sharon xx http://www.mypassporttostyle.blogspot.com
