Gentleness

Gentleness is a precious quality that soothes us when we are in the presence of it.  It is a quiet word that sometimes gets forgotten, but it is an important feature of the Spirit of God, and the more time we spend with Him the more we are transformed into His image and it becomes a fruit in our own lives and a part of our personality.   That's not to say that we can't be  full of joy and fun and strength and laughter, only that it is a beautiful added element to the other qualities of our perosnality.  This has been the word for my word study the last couple of days, and I felt like sharing it with you this morning, maybe it will bless you, and encourage you to find rest in Him, and as you do, His sweet, peaceful, quiet, gentle presence will refresh you.

I like to make scripture cards and little scrapbook creations that include scripture.  It is part of the way I  take a hold of and memorize it.  I am starting a prayer journal, scripture and art journal, and am having fun finding nuggets of inspiration.  I found several on-line scrapbook sites and some of them free.  So I tried this one out today for my little scripture memory exercise  I thought you might like the  link.   You do have to pay for certain elements of it but other elements are free.  Have a blessed day everyone.

Note: now here is a test for any of you to see how well you have memorized your scripture:  I made a mistake on one of these, and just saw it.... see if you can tell which one it is.  I am so glad that patience is a fruit of the Spirit, and evidently I need to work on self control.... my mind wanders ha ha.... luckily I haven't printed this, and perhaps I will go back and edit it and reload but for now... it is a brain teaser for you.
