Dear Robin,
Thank you for sharing this teaching. I remember reading somewhere about a mother who apologized to her children for enjoying getting angry at them (using her position to Lord it over them). I think that if we can remember a time that wounded our child deeply, that we should write them a letter asking for their forgiveness. I remember Norm Wakefield talking about a time when he had hurt his son and the boy fled to his room. Norm didn’t go after him, he just let the boy stew. Well it took years before Norm found out that his son’s heart had locked toward him that day.
Thank you for teaching us what it means to walk in the spirit.You are in my prayers.

Jill

Robin – that is so beautiful. You are right, some see gentleness/meekness as weakness, but it is not so. The best example is our Lord. If we have Him as our example, we can be just as gentle, yet strong like Him. I too have said some unkind words to our son over the years, which regret.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this wonderful topic.
Be blessed today and always.

I blogged the Fruit of the Spirit meme. Sorry, I should have let you know last night!!
I just wrote a post about Love. I haven’t done it before, so I didn’t address each question like you did.

I know God must be speaking to me. My blog from yesterday had the same thing from a Women’s Walk With God as yours does. I enjoy your site.

Thank you for asking me to join you in this MeMe. I have bookmarked the instuction page.
I loved your post about gentleness. My Mother was an example of this fruit. She was always calm, and gentle. She was kind to everyone. Her spirit just soothe you. She is who I thought of when you mentioned your grandmother.
Thanks for bringing her to mind.

Sharon “Kind of like me holding my breath thinking that if i do it long enough I will start sprouting watermelons.” You are a hoot! What a word picture.

Hope you can write about your patience study and join Fruity Friday next week. (hmmm I sound impatient)
