To All the Women I Know.....

This past Saturday at church, we had a women's get together and bible study called "Coffee with Vicky". 

The scripture was from 1 Peter 3:3-4
3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.   4  Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.

Ladies, let us encourage one another to be that woman worthy in God's sight, carrying the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit.  Know our real worth, lift each other up and have a caring heart for one another.
Practicing FORGIVENESS, SINCERITY, and TAKING CARE OF OUR BODIES are just some of the things  we can do to be of a gentle and quiet spirit.  What other things can you add to that?

I stumbled onto this and just have to share!   A poem by Mary Costanza

A  Woman's Worth
A  woman's beauty is not only in the glow of her skin
But the depth of her eyes and the warmth of her heart
 
A  woman's strength is not only  in  the bow of her back
But the magnitude of her tears and the softness of her words
 
A  woman's wisdom is not only in  the value of her words
But the knowledge of when to hold them and the journey
she takes to learn them
 
A  woman's courage is not only  in  her determination to fight
But her willingness to walk away and confidence to say "No"
 
A  woman's grace is not only  in  the way she dances through her day
But in the love notes she leaves and the wonderful meals she prepares
 
A  woman's love is not only  in  the kisses she gives
But in the sacrifices she makes and the moments given to you alone
 
A  woman's worth is not only in  the things she does
But who she truly is and who she helps you become
