This topic got brought up here at The Stay at home Missionary. my response got to be too long- so I thought I would share and post it on my blog.
I wish I could say I have clear picture of what true Femininity is. Unfortunately it is so distorted by the Worlds view, and then a feministic view which was portrayed by my mother.
So what is femininity in my eyes?
Femininity- is a gentle soul, who speaks with kindness always, not only when there is company.
- One who is creative in everything she does, sewing, cleaning, and cooking.
- One who dresses in clothing that shows she is beautiful, delicate and pretty. I do not envision just dresses in this.
- One who loves the Lord with all of heart and lives with wisdom at her side.
- One whose true radiance and glow is from the Holy Spirit.
- One who is Humble
Are these all realistic? Can you be all these things?
What is femininity in your eyes?
I myself am learning daily what femininity is. I think it is all that you listed! Especially the radiance glow from the Holy Spirit.
ReplyDeleteI know the Bible tells us all to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger, but I find this such a wonder when I see it in a woman....I am by no means there!
I have a long way to go, as my idea of femininity and what the world & my mother has taught me is conflicting. Oh to be God's woman and to walk worthy of Him daily. I have a long way to go!
