I was thinking about how powerless we are against the forces of nature (yes, and the people that start fires) and then you brought me back to the simple things. Things each of us do when there are forces beyond our control. I remember times in my life when all I could think of was to put my feet on the floor and say left, right, left right. Wash my face and get the coffee started and feed my family. Thanks for the reminder.

You nailed it. Strength for the day is what God has promised. And…He delivers on his promises. Your metaphorical images are powerful!

The news photos of mothers in third world countries always moves me. There is such strength in these women, holding their children and doing what they must to survive day to day.

That is exactly why Gone With the Wind is my all-time favorite book. The spirit of a woman prevailing over everything is what life is like much of the time. And it’s because we don’t have a choice.

Your posts are so intriguing to me. Your timing is almost eerie. This week has been so trying for us (husband’s job and oldest son being diagnosed with HSP after 3 visits to the ER) and I was just praying, “God…I don’t want to be the strong one any more…I don’t think I can be the glue.” Then I wiped my eyes, walked out of the bathroom and started dinner.

It is amazing that we creatures who will cry over Hallmark commercials and song lyrics, are the tough ones that hold our families together! God must have a bizarre sense of humor.

Wait - my husband’s the chimney, and I’m the washer/dryer? Can I be a frontloader, at least? I’m more energy-efficient that way.
