My whole life I have watched my Great Grandmother, My Grandmother, My Mother and My Aunt and how they have conducted themselves in public and in private...they all had {have} this quality...Quiet Strength.
They aren't loud. No attention drawn to themselves. When things in life are hard (as it is for everyone at some point in their lives) whether it be health problems, financial issues, marriage issues... they are strong...quietly.
I'm grateful today that it was passed down to me and then by chance I read the following scripture this morning:
So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It's your basic all-purpose garment. Never be without it.
Colossians 3:12-14
This could be my life verse. When I think of the women in my family...this verse is them.
