Old Fashioned Passion
I was talking with a friend about passion, and after some thought, I realized a great passion of mine: Biblical Womanhood. The very words have so much meaning. First is Biblical. I love the Bible and the God who wrote it, and the redemptive story it tells. Second is Womanhood. I love being a woman, and I gladly embrace my role as a helper made for my husband. I am under no delusion that that statement is repulsive to our culture at large, but I do believe with all my heart that God made me to be exactly the helper that Mr. M needs. I choose to believe this despite the many, many voices who reject that belief, and even find it despicable and abhorrent. I am not so naive as to be surprised to hear that people will think less of me for believing and living this, and some will even think I'm stupid for it. However, I will never NOT believe in the joyous union of a man and a woman in marriage, or in premarital abstinence, or in the importance of older women passing on sacred faith and wisdom to younger women. Call me old fashioned.

A young friend of my was upset about what the priest was going to say at her wedding about the "roles" of man and woman in marriage. I told her that though Adam was created first and Eve second as his "helper", God knew before He created Adam that Eve was needed and Adam could not be who he was created to be without her. I think it was the first time she realized how special women are.
That was great advice. Thanks for sharing.
