This week's Homekeeper's Journal is about homemaking and being gentle.
In my kitchen this week...I have found a couple of extra teenagers to feed. There's a pot roast in the oven for tonight. :)
On my mind this week...Plans for a Ladies Brunch at church. I also have decluttering around the house on my mind as well as rescheduling the rest of our school year.
Gentleness is one of the Fruit of the Spirit so as a Christian …Check my tone before I speak especially around my family. Since I am most comfortable with them, I also tend to be unfiltered!
When the Bible says that Moses was the meekest of all men (Numbers 12:3), it reminds me that …Being the most meek is a contest I should try to win! ;)
The gentle person has died to self, so when I am gentle in situations that cause others to be angry and violent (Proverbs 16:32; 25:28) …That with God all things are truly possible!! Truthfully though, it would be a sign that my attitude is controlled by the Spirit which is what I want with my whole being!
Knowing that gentleness is not cowardice or lack of conviction (1 Peter 22-23), I am encouraged to …Be gentle even in times when firmness and sticking to one's boundaries is necessary. Often times I can either be gentle and not hold to my boundaries or hold to my boundaries but in angry. The trick is to be firm AND gentle. :)
