Scripture Ponderings

Bible and Roses by Lynn Pitard

A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband:
But she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
Proverbs 12:4
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her,
so that he shall have no need of spoil.
She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
Proverbs 31:11-12
Can our husbands truly trust in us? Have we ever shared something with someone else, perhaps a friend, that our husband would be embarrassed about? We need to be careful as this is, in all reality, gossip. Gossip is such an ugly word!

The Webster's 1828 says this: Gossip-one who runs from house to house, tattling and telling news; an idle tattler. (def. 3) Gossiping also refers to much talking.

Let's love our husbands, be a crown to him. Let's pray for him. Let's ask God to give him wisdom in leading our families, making decisions, etc... There have been so many times that I am so thankful that I am not the one who makes the final decision!

This is a great piece of advice! I just saw a morning news show today that promoted a book about training your husband. I was appalled. Not kind to husbands at all. If it had been a man writing a book about training a wife, it would have been bad news for him. I am working up a blog post about it, it upset me so much! LOL
