To all my wonderful MGB friends

[Guest guest]

I read this and thought right away of the awsome strength in this

group -- I am so blessed and thankful to be a part of it -- this poem

is for all of you -- I thank the Lord every day for bringing you all

into my life.

Blessings of the season to all the great women I know!

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 herself to everyone.

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future --

but 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.

God bless.
