Block 82

Strength


Physical,
mental
and 
emotional strength.

I have been blessed
with all three
of these strengths.

You may ask
Why do you use the
Tin Woodsman for strength?
He was asking for a heart.


To me,
strength comes from
the heart . . .
it keeps you going
when all else
has failed.
Personally,
I think mental strength
is the one
I would hate to lose
the most.

When I have been
mentally strong, 
I have amazed
myself 
with what
I accomplished.

Emotional strength.
This is probably
my weakest strength.
I have a 
"strong"
persona.
But those 
who know me,
know that 
my emotions
can get the 
best of me.
And,
normally
this happens
at an 
inopportune time.

Physical strength . . .
mine isn't 
as great as
it once was.
I still try
but the lower back
lets me know
that I have
lifted wrong
one to many times.
My arms 
and hands,
however,
still are as strong
as they 
have ever been.


Dear Lord,
Thank you for giving me mental, emotional and physical strength. All three have served me well through out my lifetime and I pray that they will continue to do so.

Amen

Yep, you watched the OZ! I can get emotional too. And physical strength... I feel it ebbing as I age. The mental -- well, I do have my days!

Smiles!
