My Sisters, God's Daughters

They don't seek out for human glory,
but give their all to God in humility.

They don't speak out on social issues,
but speak up in Bible class.

They don't sing the songs of the world,
but sing songs of praise to their Father,

They don't wear the latest fashion trends,
but in quiet modesty profess godliness.

They teach their children to be courteous.

They wash their husbands' clothes,

They wake up early and stay up late,

Because to God they fulfill their righteous oaths.

Without these women, where would the church be?

For these Christian women make the best black eye peas!

But their worth is not in their food, fashion, or flowers,
but in their relationship with their Father.

They are daughters of the Most High......I am proud that they are my sisters.


Note: Many people look down on churches of Christ because of our stance on the role of women. However, it is not our stance, but it is God's (1 Timothy 2:9-14; 1 Corinthians 14:34). Women in churches of Christ are held in high esteem. Without women, there would be no overseers or deacons (1 Timothy 3:2, 12). Without women, there would have been no Timothy (2 Timothy 2:15). Christian women are of great value as mothers and keepers of the home (Titus 2:4-6). Every faithful Christian can attest to the wonderful influence of at least one godly woman in their life. I know that I would not be the person I am today without all the righteous women in my life. I am indeed grateful for them and their work.
