"What is femininity?


This conference Sunday I wanted to leave you with this excerpt from a blog I frequent:

"What is femininity? Does it mean that one must have long hair and wear skirts? Does it (God forbid) imply pettiness, timidity, and uselessness? The answer is, No! True, godly femininity is first and foremost an attitude of the heart; femininity gives courage and strength and vision to the daughters of the Almighty. Femininity understands and embraces the fact that God has created man and woman equal, but with different roles and responsibilities. A feminine woman is one who does not seek to be a man or function in man's role, but to function in her God-given role (Titus 2:4-5). She is diligent (Proverbs 31, esp. vs 13 &17), she is a servant and a studious student of the Word of Life. She seeks to pass the lessons that God teaches her to other young women, as well as to her siblings or children. She is a woman of prayer, understanding that "the prayers of a righteous man availeth much" and in her labors she is a vital asset in the spiritual war that we are engaged in. She embraces purity, her desire is to avoid the heart of the wicked, but to rather exhibit the heart attitude of Godliness."

Beloved and I watched Sunday morning session of April conference while teaching: showing, discussing, directing and rewarding reverent behavior. Reverence takes a lifetime but in small steps we are seeing her sit still longer. She recognizes the Tab choir when they sing and today was curious about why someone was praying on t.v.
Hey at least she was paying that much attention!
It's a beautiful day to have a sabbath day.
