Pillar of support, helper-leader, life-giver, gentle-quiet spirit (at least that's my goal).

The main art in the matter of spiritual living is to know how to handle yourself. You have to take yourself in hand, you have to address yourself, preach to yourself, question yourself. You must say to your soul: ‘Why art thou cast down’—what business have you to be disquieted? You must turn on yourself, upbraid yourself, condemn yourself, exhort yourself, and say to yourself: ‘Hope thou in God’—instead of muttering in this depressed, unhappy way. And then you must go on to remind yourself of God, Who God is, and what God is and what God has done, and what God has pledged Himself to do. Then having done that, end on this great note: defy yourself, and defy other people, and defy the devil and the whole world, and say with this man: ‘I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance, who is also the health of my countenance and my God’.

— D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Repost. Can't remember who said that in 2021. Ditto again this year. Well done.

"Men exhibited gentleness, faithfulness, and self control.
Men can't do that on their own; that's the Holy Spirit."

“The fraud of despair is that it’s telling you how permanent it is. It isn’t. It is wise to cultivate a deep mistrust of despair’s lie. Things do change, get better, for those who hang tough.” (quote from "RLM")

@pastormbowman My husband does this part in the garage on raised tables. I take the cuts into the kitchen for double wrap. With grandgirls on tape and labeling. Harry Potter 1 on screens. 4-6 deer harvested as God provides.
