Feminine Grace

Cheerful flowers on the table at Mrs. White's House.

There is a certain way to behave which presents oneself as a lady.  There is an old-world style of charm and grace which is calming to others.  This is a rare sort of person in our current culture.  If this lady dresses in a gentle manner, with lace at the cuffs and collar, along with soft and feminine colors, she exudes a sweetness as she goes about her day.  If her manners and heart are full of kindness and love, combined with the lovely style of dress, she will send forth a light of inspiration and goodness. She will be a rare and much needed soul as she ministers in her home and community. 

What of those who sneer at her? Yes, there will be many who do not care for old-time feminine grace.  There will be scoffers and gossip-mongers. There always are such people, in every generation, throughout the ages.  This must not trouble her.  There are a great variety of opinions and ways of living.  Why should a lady change to blend in with a crowd when she is doing such great work as a shining light?

Always remember this:  Your happiness doesn't rest in the way others treat you. It rests in a close walk with the Lord.

Let us aspire to be ambassadors of the Lord's work. Keep to the work at hand, tidy the house, cheer up the family, be a peacemaker with a meek and loving heart, and always do your very best to behave like a gracious lady.

Blessings

Mrs. White
