Women of God



"Women of God can never be like the women of the world.
The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender.
There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind.                                      There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined.
There are enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith.
           We have enough greed; we need more goodness.
           We have enough vanity; we need more virtue.
           We have enough popularity; we need more purity."

                                                                                       -  Margaret D. Nadauld

"A gracious woman retains honor.."  -  Proverbs 11:16

    Delightfully challenging. I will print this out and put it on my fridge (or maybe on my bathroom mirror? or in my Bible? I need to see it often:)
    Hope you'll come by and visit me, as I'm posting a week of encouragement, exhortation and help for stay-at-home moms (especially). I'm stopping by from the Homemaking Linkup today!

    Thank you for this simple reminder about what it means to be a woman of God. It's certainly easy to lose that in the world in which we live.

    What a good reminder. As Tracey said, it's easy to lose sight of this out in the world because it's such a different message than what we get from the secular world.

    Lisa,

    Thank you for visiting my blog! I enjoyed yours as well & am now following you, too :) You have a beautiful family...I think some of my children line up with yours in ages/genders, so we will all enjoy checking back in w/you throughout the school year. All of your quotes are wonderful...I think I might need to post some around where I can see them, too, LOL!

    Blessings,
    Collette
