I've got that same shortfall in my house, too. Mostly, short in ME! I'm so thankful being filled with gentleness, et al, isn't my job, but rather the Holy Spirit's. Come, Holy Spirit, I need You!!!

I'm encouraged by the truth that, by the Spirit, we can be "clothed" in gentleness (along with compassion, kindness, humility and patience - a few other things that are in short supply around here). <br />Blessings!Michele Morinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814119096056835884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214410332483250349.post-53755140100399081792016-01-19T14:56:58.589-05:002016-01-19T14:56:58.589-05:00Thank you Sheila. Your point about the country is...Thank you Sheila. Your point about the country is so interesting. Being a born and bred Jersey girl who years later visited the South and admired their gentile ways, I would indeed say that country living fosters gentleness. May God grant us all gentle spirits, to be who He made us to be, but with Christ's gentleness shining through. :-)<br /><br />Elizabeth, the day this post went live, I was in a situation of rushing and I thought to myself, "Really??" lol. Needless to say, I caught myself much sooner than I would have prior to the writing of this post, and preached it to myself again.<br /><br />Gentle blessings to you both.Karen Del Tattohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12534510202288836694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214410332483250349.post-87214739168834283272016-01-19T14:49:52.057-05:002016-01-19T14:49:52.057-05:00Cheryl, You are very welcome.

Your gentle love, compassion and tenderness towards God's people is truly inspiring and Glorifying to God.<br /><br />Indeed, I was so thankful to Elizabeth for inviting me on this journey to learn about gentleness, and the wonderful opportunity to share with others. Elizabeth has such a big heart and vivacious personality for the Lord that is contagious!<br /><br />BlessingsKaren Del Tattohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12534510202288836694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214410332483250349.post-10404737749158850632016-01-19T13:03:02.890-05:002016-01-19T13:03:02.890-05:00Awww, thank you, Sheila!

I was just thinking of this post this morning and was trying to do my guest blogger, Karen, justice by NOT rushing so much that I became, er, UNgentle. ;) Thank you so much for taking time to stop by...may all the "varieties" of the fruit of the Spirit be yours today!Elizabeth Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14323422138353699587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214410332483250349.post-1790673147615975442016-01-19T08:24:10.373-05:002016-01-19T08:24:10.373-05:00Hello Elizabeth -- Happy to "find" you a...Hello Elizabeth -- Happy to "find" you at #RaRaLinkup today. This post is so timely as I find myself wanting to be more gentle, softer.

And yes: if rushing isn't the death of gentleness in me, I don't know what is. Well, okay, plenty of other things are, too, but rushing must be king. Which means I'd better end this comment and get on with my morning so I do not have to RUSH to Bible study in a few hours! ;) Thank you so much for stopping by, Cheryl...so glad to "meet" you, too!Elizabeth Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14323422138353699587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214410332483250349.post-76885312805677117782016-01-19T03:25:51.516-05:002016-01-19T03:25:51.516-05:00What a wonderful post!

So often, I am in too big of a rush, as you said, but He is teaching me to slow down, through the trials in our lives right now. Thank you so much for sharing what the dear Lord laid upon your heart, Karen. God bless you, and God bless you, Elizabeth, for providing the platform for the truth of God's Word to be shared here! So happy to "meet" you!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891257905649460436noreply@blogger.com
