This is a thread about gaining and maintaining strength for our wonderful calling, Homemaking. As we care for our own health, we grow more capable and competent to care for our families, our neighbors and our communities. As we become more effective, our hopes for ourselves and those we care about get the best chance!
Was pondering strength lately - the kinds we need and how we gain it. Also the frustration of roadblocks that make us detour to maintain it! Got a little carried away with wisdom others expressed.

And put iron in our soul."--
