There is no glitz and no glam here, just a group of women seeking God, learning from one another, and praying for their families. A group of women from Southcrest recently finished the book study Feminine Appeal, the seven virtues of a Godly wife and mother.
It was a wonderful time spent each time we gathered together. I think what stands out the most is how much we laughed. There were a number of funny stories, silly issues and comedic relief shared by the group. Not only did we laugh, but we weren't laughing at the expense of anyone. It was truly good clean fun learning about each others lives and trials as wives and mothers.
There was positive contribution, there was mutual support and there was a desire and want for women to come closer to God. And through that love their husbands and children in a Titus 2 way.
It was inspirational and hopeful, it helped us all change little things about how we do things, even for a time. It was a time making new friends and deepening relationships with those we have known. As this study has come to an end, (just in time for baseball season), I know each person and those who could not come are looking forward to the next opportunity to share and be together.
One thing is to be sure as members of this group gather together, if there was to be a photograph, we wouldn't be holding perfect apples, juicy apples or glitzy oranges...we would be holding Bibles. And that my friends is reality!
