Day 11 SHE HAS QUIET STRENGTH AND DIGNITY

We are learning in church on Sunday mornings about the beatitudes-this week was about meekness. "Blessed are the MEEK, for they will inherit the earth".

 We learned that meekness is like a stallion choosing to be bridled and trained-because he knows that it is for his protection.  The strength is there, underlying, yet he chooses to submit and surrender.





This definately brings to mind my Mom!  My Mother is a quiet soul.  It would take quite a lot to rile her up.  I don't know if I remember at all-one time, her yelling.(although I'm sure we would have deserved it)  She is the most dignified lady that I know-always elegant and even when having fun-is always polite and sure not to offend.  She would probably beg to differ, but she never has been embarassing, or undignified.  She is classy-but never puffed up, or acting above anyone else.   I do remember her praying with me, and for me as a child.  I love her, and long to be quiet and dignified as she is!

Lord, help me to hold my tongue when it would be displeasing to you to speak(or yell), and help me to always act deserving of the dignity that you have placed in me.  Let my quiet strength and dignity be what I am known for.   Let my words and actions be pleasing in your sight!~~Deb~~
