May I Choose To Be Gentle
art by Sandy Clough
"Nothing is won by force.
I choose to be gentle.
If I raise my voice may it be only in praise.
If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer.
If I make a demand, may it be only of myself."

Thanks Dee! I've been thinking of you and Frank a lot as I'm sure waiting is a very difficult thing.
May the Lord continue to carry you through this whole experience and continue to give you peace in the midst of chaos ~ I'm so glad that you still have hope!
