HOWEVER

I choose to post quotes from sources you may or may not be familiar with who have used the word “instrument or instrumental” within their speech. Some you may or may not agree with but that is what makes the world go around.

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Francis of Assisi
You not only have to know your own instrument, you must know the others and how to back them up at all times. That’s jazz. Oscar Peterson
What we call Man’s power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument. C. S. Lewis
Prayer is not an old woman’s idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action. Mahatma Gandhi
You have to have a certain realism that government is a pretty blunt instrument, and without the constant attention of highly qualified people with the right metrics, it will fall into not doing things very well. Bill Gates
We really were a very musical family. Father managed to buy us a small pump organ, and I just loved this instrument. Lawrence Welk
Power is an instrument of fatal consequence. It is confined no more readily than Quicksilver and escapes good intentions as easily as air flows through the mesh.

My quote: The Blessed Virgin Mary was the most important instrument to mankind in that it was through her that God chooses to bring His Son into the world to redeem us.

My Christmas Gift from God!
Married … 1961
Now he is gone, his name was Dennis!
A MEMORY afraid to forget
Some die soft and others die-hard.
You left me with a heart scarred.
His Will was to call you home
His Will left me all alone.
Your words to me were bravely spoken
Today I understand the words foretoken.
“It’s Gods Will,” you said over and over.
“Please lend me a prayer,” and moreover;
“What did our priest just say to me?”
Words I just couldn’t foresee.
“Our children will now care for you,”
He knew they would follow through.
Now that it’s been six long years
What I do best are shedding tears.
