The word gentleness keeps coming into
my thoughts. I think of fuzzy teddy bears, like the one on the
Snuggle commercials. I think of my husband and his sweet spirit that
is gentleness to my soul. I think of the sweet hugs and touches I
give my daughter displaying a gentleness only a mommy can give her
child. I think of my Savior, and His gentleness toward me and His
drawing me into the arms of His love, where I rest in between His
shoulders like the sweet apostle whom Jesus loved.
I'm not sure why this word keeps
rounding itself in my mind because the day outside has a sort of loud
clanging and drudgery that comes with a thunderstorm. But if I listen
in between the noise of thunder, I hear the soft breeze that lightens
the mood of the storm. It's there in the stillness and intermittent
sunshine that I recognize my life has a similar rhythm of gentleness
in between the storms of life.
