A Gift from a Friend

Wanted to save this in a special place. It is a tribute to my great-aunts Mary and Rose, Great-aunt Ida & Cousin Pat and my Grandmother Lowry. To my mother, Loyce, who daily visits the sick, helps her friends and prays for us all. And finally and most recently to my dear friend Margaret who showed her strength in her battle with cancer.

A STRONG WOMAN VERSUS A WOMAN OF STRENGTH

****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...
