Tuesday's Topic--What is a Lady?

From www.keepingthe home.com

This article speaks mainly to the woman who is married and has children, but some of the below is applicable to all women in all walks of life.
A lady doesn't nag or complain to her husband: It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman. -Proverbs 21:19 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. -Proverbs 27:15

She is a keeper of her home and submits to her husband: To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. -Titus 2:5 She chastens, trains, and keeps her children with her: The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. -Proverbs 29:15

She wears beautiful, flowing, modest clothes (like dresses):In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel [katastole], with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; -1 Timothy 2:9 Katastole - long, flowing garment. (Pants are generally not long and flowing)
She may be beautiful, but she is wise:
As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion. -Proverbs 11:22

She does not partake in gossip, tale bearing, slander, or other forms of frowardness of the tongue: Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I am the LORD. -Leviticus 19:16 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. -Proverbs 26:20 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness. -Proverbs 10:32

A lady wears beautiful clothing that draws attention to her face and countenance. She takes her job of taking care of her husband, children, and house very seriously, and does her best to bless them, as if she were doing her domestic duties for the Lord Himself.She is not idle, for she knows that idle time leads to idol time. She instills this principle into her children as well.A lady knows that nobody and no day is perfect. She greets each day as a brand new day, with brand new unknowns. She looks to the Lord as her source of peace, comfort, joy, and wisdom, and faces each day with a smile, knowing that her Redeemer liveth, and He careth for her.
