A Titus 2 Woman?

Titus 2:3 (KJV) The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. ...
7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. ...
10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11 ¶ For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15 ¶ These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

Beautiful. I just watched a movie called The Prize Winner Of Defiance, Ohio (a true story) and this woman touched my heart- a true housewife and stay at home mom she was, still honoring her husband even though he was less than honorable... it was something to learn from!

Wonderful. I love this passage of scripture. Thank you for sharing it. Thanks for always having words of encouragement. I would still love to chat sometime about homeschooling....

I too, love these sweet words from our Lord. Like Proverbs 31, it's kind of a "job description" for those of us who babies have grown out of their slings! Have a scrumptious day!!
