Todays topic is Courage.
What does courage actually mean?? I wasn't sure so I looked it up.
This is what I found:
Courage:
*a quality of spirit that enables you to face danger or pain without showing fear
* also known as bravery, will, intrepidity, and fortitude, the ability to confront fear, pain, risk/danger
*mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty
Then I found some synonyms of courage:
*mettle, spirit, resolution, tenacity = mental or moral strength to resist opposition, danger, or hardship.
Courage implies firmness of mind and will in the face of danger or extreme difficulty
Mettle suggests an ingrained capacity for meeting strain or difficulty with fortitude and resilience .
Spirit also suggests a quality of temperament enabling one to hold one's own or keep up one's morale when opposed or threatened
Tenacity adds to resolution implications of stubborn persistence and unwillingness to admit defeat
When I think of courage, I think of Anne Frank. And Miep Gies, the brave woman that hid Anne Frank and her family.
I think of Corrie Ten Boom, and her family, who had a strong Christian faith. They had the courage to do what many didn't.
There are thousands upon thousands of examples of people with Courage. I like to study the Holocaust so these are just three examples that come to mind.
The bible talks a lot about being of good cheer and full of courage too.
Today I am thankful for:
* My husband having some time off
* a good pre-school conference!!
* the rain ( not really but we need rain and I am trying to be of good cheer!)
