The girls and I continued on our summer study of the virtuous woman. I was so proud that they had remember to memorize Proverbs 31:10, 11.
In this week's study we looked at verse 12 where it says to do him good and not evil. (this is talking about the husband, but this can also apply to any man figure in their life, like their Daddy and brother) One way to do them "good" is to apply the fruits of the spirit to our life whenever we have any interaction with our "men" (or really with anyone!) the three that really stood out to my girls is love, temperance and longsuffering. Sometimes we don't always get treated the way we want. Joshua is a typical older brother and likes to bother and annoy his sisters sometimes. Even though they can't control his actions, they can show longsuffering and temperance toward him. Sometimes it's easy to get angry when things aren't exactly the way we like them. (I guess this is not just for my girls :o) We talked a lot about the verse in Proverbs that says a soft answer turneth away wrath. As ladies we need to make sure and apply this verse to our lives. Not that their Daddy and brother show them "wrath", but when there is some frustration it's best to have a soft answer and to not argue.
Our assignments for this week:
Memorize Proverbs 31:12 and quote along with verse 10 and 11.
To put Proverbs 15 into action and have a soft answer. Then, the girls and I will talk with each other next week about ways we were able to do this
