In this day and age everyone is expected to be tough and aggresive. But if someone is gentle, this doesnt happen very often, but it can go such a long way in this society, Gentleness stands out from the crowd I think. Its all very easy to get mad at things and call people, but if we take a step back being kind and gentle helps the situation so much depending on the circumstance. This is my word for today!
We are all anxious at times, and even myself, as I have just moved to a new area. I am fighting my illness and overcoming a sense of anxiety, even small things can upset us, ie neighbour being nosey keeping their windows open etc, but I do sense they are just interested in us and are curious. They can be loud at times, but I do thinkl by being polite and kind and seeing through all things like this, God can intervene. I have just spent most of 5 years living next to a terrible bad neighbour and I was really very poorley. And I refuse to become part of that cycle again, So I ask God to lift me and my fiance up and show our new neighours that we have alot of love to give! We have already promised a lettuce to one neigbour, (her mother) when our lettuces grow. I ask God to keep us calm about any situation that may arise as I do not want any more issues. Amen
