I was blessed and challenged as I listened to this message. And though she's mainly speaking to married women, she also addresses the young ladies role in this as well. Very inspiring and thought provoking!
I took a few notes that I thought I'd share here, but please don't replace them for listening to the message! :-)
12 ways women can foolishly tear down their houses:
-be hyper critical of your husband and children
-nag them constantly
-ignore the house work
-put your husband down privately and publicly
-be unfaithful and untrustworthy
-be careless and sloppy about your appearance, especially
when your husband is home
-be lazy and spend money carelessly
-gossip about your family, especially your husband
-use your tongue as a weapon
-refuse to submit to your husband
-be sure to disrespect him to the children
-watch soap-operas and romanticize about how much kinder
other husbands are
A wise woman, a woman who builds her house:
-is not contentious (verbally contentious or giving the
silent treatment)
-she uses her tongue to speak wisdom and kindness
-she avoids gossip and vain talk
-she submits to her husband in an expression of faith to God
-she’s industrious and hard working
-she has a meek and quiet spirit
A wise woman isn’t perfect, but she puts her faith in the One
who is.
It all boils down to that a wise woman loves.
“Love is always ready to deny itself, to give, sacrifice, just
in the measure of its sincerity and intensity.
Perfect love is perfect self-forgetfulness. Hence, where there is love in the home,
unselfishness is the law; each forgets self and lives for others.” -J.R. Miller
