by Linda S. from Virtuous Daughters, August/September 2020~Volume 20, Number 3 “Daughter of mine, a woman so kind,
how did you grow up to be so fine?” A voice in answer so quiet and low, “you trained me up in the way I should go.” Proverbs 22:6 “Daughter of mine, so busy was I, how did I teach you, when found I time?” “Diligently you taught me all through the day, as a young child in a Mother's special way.” Deuteronomy 6:6-7 “Daughter of mine, If this be true, what are some things that I taught you?” “I learned to esteem others better than me. not to love only in words; but also in deed. Philippians 2:3, 1 John 3:18 I learned by example to love sisters and brothers, as I saw you look on the things of others. To always walk in truth you taught, God's commands taught from the heart.” Philippians 2:4, 3 John 1:4 “Mother of mine, You are so kind, You are the one who is so fine. I'd hear you pray, and learn how true, the realness of God is in you.” “Many a time I’ve failed and stumbled, Daughter of mine in tears I’m humbled.” LMS "But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;" 1 Peter 1:15 by Brittany S. from Virtuous Daughters, December 2004~Volume 4, Number 9 A song written by Brittany to her mother; consider writing your mother a song for Christmas, too!
by Gina L. from Virtuous Daughters, February/March 2019~Volume 18, Number 6 "Panning for Gold" Proverbs 31 Study Series Part 23 What will you be remembered for after you breathe your last breath? It is a sobering and difficult question. Will it be your stylish clothing or your quick wit? Will it be your wall of accomplishments or your trophies of praise? Will it be your pile of possessions or your pretty hair? Probably it will be none of those things, but rather something related to who you are on the inside. But how does this inner character manifest itself outwardly in a life? We can't see inside and know what the heart and mind of a person is. Most often we see the inner workings of the heart by the outer workings of the hands and mouth. Yes, it is often your good works that show your good heart—a heart made good by the presence of the Holy Spirit. Ruth, Tabitha, Priscilla, Mary, Tryphena, Tryphosa, Lydia, Sara, and Phebe were all known for their good works. In fact good works can be used of God in a great way. Besides giving you true, enduring beauty, your good works also give God glory. What a high privilege and joy, and yet there is more too that God speaks regarding good works. Come, let us find the path the Virtuous Woman walked before us as God speaks to us the truth about the purpose and plan He has for our lives, for our works are writing our epitaph.
by Gina L. from Virtuous Daughters, December 2018/January 2019~Volume 18, Number 5 "Panning for Gold" Proverbs 31 Study Series Part 22 ~Proverbs 31:31~ I have never been a great gardener. It is partly because I don't have a natural knack for it and mostly because I rarely take the time to actually plant anything. You don't reap if you don't sow! One year though I read a book on wide raised-bed gardening, and it had great pictures and compelling text and inspired me to try. Could a rookie grow produce like that bountiful harvest pictured in the book? Judging from what that plot of ground in our backyard had previously yielded, one would have had many doubts.
