More Woman's Work

This mujer is working today.  I just finished my exercise and as soon as this blog is posted, I will finish the lawn, then plant some seedlings, then iron, and hopefully start on the painting today.  It is supposed to be BEAUTIFUL weather today!

More important than the physical labor is the spiritual work to become a woman of God ... not just in word, but in action.

...that they may teach the young women

to be ... chaste ...

The idea in this teaching is to be modest in our dress and actions.  The author refers to the affect of a woman's dress on the men around her.  While the world tells us and shows us one way to dress, the Lord commands another.  What does your dress suggest?  Is there someone that you can ask?  Your husband? a father?  The stores are full of suggestive clothing - small, tight, clingy, ...  I am sure that you have noticed it.  Why not take stock of your attire and make changes that would please the Lord.  Check your clothing in many positions - front, back, when stretching,  when bending to pick something up.  If it is inappropriate, fix it or dispose of it.  Do not be a stumbling block to the men around you.  You will have to answer for each choice that you made in regards to your dress.
