Ladies are sensitive. Caring. Loving. Merciful. Thoughtful. Enduring. Kind. Cheerful. Planners. Money makers. Business bosses. Sky rise outlook with a rusty wallet view. Sensible. Reasonable.
Men are tuff. Taught not to cry. One task oriented. Driven. Determined. Hardworking (most). Leaving Socks everywhere. Adventure addicts. Outdoor junkie.
Through these couple of weeks the two roles of female and male have displayed. The male is fit for preparation. War. The fight. The pressing through. The messy. The task that remains unknown or uncertain.
The female well there are two things they will do:
1). Freak! And I mean worry wart!
2). It’s “OK” but like internally flipping out!
A woman is fit to be a mans help, but what help do we bring to the table when we are flipping out ourselves?
Males well they aren’t as gracious when it comes to telling news. They’re blunt, very blunt. Women need not only a play by play but a budget, plan, timing, how are the kiddos involved, work, bills etc… the list goes on! Because we have a mind set of Caring, placing and taking under our wings.
The kids. The house. The husband. The pets. The bills. The cars and all else that will fit. While the man manages the head, the woman fulfills the arms, legs, feet, and whatever else attached. To keep it going.
“For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,”
Ephesians 5:23-26
Women who are strong in the Lord when days are great! Will be all the more strong when times are going south. Because their faith wasn’t in their self but in Christ! They know it. They believe it. And they live like it. And the women around them are alike. Not being of different kinds but of one belief.
“An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar. She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens. She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong. She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night. She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet. She makes bed coverings for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple. Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant. Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.”
