A strong woman works out every day to keep her
body in shape...but a woman of strength kneels
in prayer to keep her soul in shape...

A strong woman isn't afraid of anything...but
a woman of strength shows courage
in the midst of her fear...

A strong woman won't let anyone get the best
of her ... but a woman of strength gives the
best of her to everyone...

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids
the same in the future...a woman of strength
realizes life's mistakes can also be God's
blessings and capitalizes on them...

A strong woman walks sure footedly...but a
woman of strength knows God will
catch her when she falls...

A strong woman wears the look of confidence
on her face...but a woman of strength wears
grace...

A strong woman has faith that she is strong
enough for the journey...but a woman of strength
has faith that it is in the journey that she will
become strong...

I have just shared this with my sisters. We all agree that it describes how our Mom was. Many thanks, Cookie.

Oh, it's Cookie. I am making your red velvet cake this weekend. I'll be sure to post about it.

I love this and am printing it. Ladies, be sure to check out the new printing feature. It works so well. Before it would print the whole page and everything on it. Now it just prints the post.

Heck, I printed several copies. I am going to my prayer group luncheon so I'll give all the gals a copy. Thanks so much!

Lola, you are so bleesed to have had a mom like that. Oh my!

I wish!! A friend sent that to me and I thought it was just wonderful, and I wanted to share it with with you all.

Good luck with the red cake, Dotsie. I hope you like it.

I really like it too and will print it out as well. It reminded me of the last part of the book I recently read "Nice Girls Don't Change the World" by Lynne Hybels. She has a prayer all about becoming "dangerour women" rather than "nice girls"

Let me know if you like it too...

"May we be dangerous women.

May we be women who acknowledge our power to change, and grow, and be redically alive for God.

May we be healers of wounds and righters of wrongs.

May we weep with those who weep ans speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.

May we cherish children, embrace the elderly, and empower the poor.

May we pray deeply and teach wisely.

May we be strong and gentle leaders.

May we sing songs of joy and talk down fear.

May we never hesitate to let passion push us, conviction compel us, anrighteous anger energize us.

May we strike fear into all that is unjust and evil in the world.

May we dismantle abusive systems and silence lies with truth.

May we shine like stars in a darkened generation.

May we overflow with goodness in the name of God and by the power of Jesus. And in the name, and by that power, may we change the world."

- Lynne Hybels

Isn't it good...

Donna
