“She’s bringing home the bacon”

Have you ever heard women say, “I have rights too.”  Or, “I’m just as good as a man”?  These are very popular these days along with many others.  Women want to be just like men.  They aren’t happy with doing the things God created them to do.  They want to be the man of the family. 

When did this start to happen?

The whole women’s rights concept started after World War 1.  This was because while the men were fighting, the women had to go and work in factories or stores to keep the family and the towns running.  After the war was over, many of the women like the freedom they had felt.  They liked the independence.  Groups started popping out everywhere for “Women’s rights!” and, “Freedom!”  At first most women looked down on these groups.  But the younger women liked the change.  As the years progressed and women’s thoughts changed, more and more women began to like the idea.  It only took another 25 years for women working to be normal.

Now look at what we have today.  The mother and the father go off and work everyday, sending the children off to an institution or child day care. We have increased debt because, the parents think they can buy more because of the 2 figure income. We have a society where the women working will respect their bosses, but have little to no regard for their husbands, and women would rather go out and work because it’s their ”right” than teach their children.

Women don’t understand that God didn’t create them to work and be the providers of the home.  He made the women to be a help meets to her husband.  To help their husband in what he is doing.  To teach and help raise the children.  To keep the house running and things moving together.  If you tell that to any women in the work force, they will think you are crazy.  They would much rather be the males of the house.

God created men to go out and be the providers for the family.  God created the woman out of man, for the man, and to be a keeper at the home.  Any other way goes against what God has made it to be, and in the end will make a home discontent.

Modesty in fashion

Most girls don’t understand when their parents tell them that they “can’t go out of the house in that thing!” They just think that their parents are, “Being to hard.” Or, “They just don’t want me to have attention.” But what attention are you getting when you walking around in almost nothing.  Of course you are going to have guys look at you.  Of course you are going to get attention.  But what kind of attention is it?  Is it the Godly attention that will glorify Christ?

They also don’t realize that guys think different than we do. Guys are more visual. And when girls go around in tight jeans and low shirts, they will look at you and treat you differently.

I’m not saying you have to wear a towel on your head, only wear skirts that go down to you ankle and lock yourself in a closet.  You can be “hip”, and in “the fad” with being modest at the same time. You just should set certain standards for yourself.

Also every person is different. Each person has different standers for themselves.  Some people don’t feel comfortable wearing skirts that come to their knees.  While others do.  Some people don’t think its right to wear pant.  While others have no problem with it.  Pick your own style and be unique.  Don’t be afraid to stand out and do what you think is cool.  Just make sure that you are always keeping the guys that watch you and God in mind.
