Beloved–

This past few weeks I’ve spent time with two of my young teenage granddaughters.  They are modern  girls who know their “rights” and there is no doubt about it!  I’m sure that they think I’m just behind the times; but they were surprised to find out that I blog, use Google and shop online.

The issue of rights came up when the girls heard their grandfather asked me to do something for him.  I voiced my opinion that I thought it wasn’t a very good idea; the girls agreed with me.  Finally, I said I would do it because he wanted it done.  The girls were angry because I acceded to my husband’s wishes.  “That’s not fair,” they said, its a dumb idea.  “Why do you let him put you down, you have rights!”   “I’ll never let my husband tell me what to do!

I explained that God instructed me, in his word, to trust him and be obedient and to respect my husband.  So I was doing what he asked me to do out of respect for my husband and obedience to my heavenly father because I trust him completely!   It says it all through out the Proverbs.

A gracious woman gains respect, but ruthless men gain only wealth.

A beautiful woman who lacks discretion is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout.

A worthy wife is a crown for her husband, but a disgraceful woman is like cancer in his bones.

A wise woman builds her home, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.

I pray for you daily, that you trust and obey,

Luv Ya!
