Author Abigail Dodds, a wife and mother to five, talks about the way men and women are inherently different from one another. It's easy to generalize male and female characteristics, but we must be careful. Dodds admits she doesn't really fit the mold of a woman with a gentle and quiet spirit. The gifts of the Spirit, she reminds us—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—can be exhibited by all believers, regardless of gender.
