You are so right about releasing and just having confidence in God's plans without worry or second guessing. I'm the worst about worrying and that's something I need to do daily - give it all to God.

I could stand some meekness in my own life...<br /><br />I wanted to add that I really appreciate your prayers for Kristen and her surgery. She went home today, and is healing well. She's going to have speech therapy and we're still waiting on the path report, but at this moment all is well, and we are all trusting the Lord on the rest.

I have to agree ...Birthday..today? Happy Birthday.<br />I have to agree that meekness is a foreign concept in todays world...something to be avoided.<br />But I like other have said to be submitted to and directed by God is not weakness. I also like the thought of being pliable.

It is today or did I already miss it?<br />I believe most people think of weakness when they hear the word meekness but it isn't so, in fact, as Sonja said already, it's the opposite. To be willing to be submitted to and directed by God takes strength. You have a great word for the year.<br />xoSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888547092318964711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-84355031287179670562012-01-09T07:19:54.236-08:002012-01-09T07:19:54.236-08:00HAPPY BIRTHDAY????

I love your spiritual word. It was one of the first Biblical Greek words that I learned when I started in depth study. <br /><br />My favorite (Vines) definition pretty much nails it:<br /><br />An internal grace of the soul exercised chiefly towards God that recognizes that God, and His dealings, are always good.<br /><br />Pretty good, huh? <br /><br />Jesus Christ was the picture of meekness. He was willing both to turn over tables and silently accept the cross. You are so right about perfect balance.<br /><br />(And can I also add that at first I read that cartoon to say, "pathetic"? ha!)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.com
