"Thank you to the aged!"

Titus 2:3-5

3 "The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed."

Have you ever heard a preacher preach on the aged women teaching the younger women in the church? Yes? So have I ;) I have been in my church for 27 years... plus 9 months in the womb. Every time this message is preached, it reminds me of how good God is to have put me in this ministry with a wonderful group of "aged women". If there are any "aged women" out there that are wondering if you are making a difference... the answer is YES!!! I would like to take a moment and speak on behalf of the younger women. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! From the moment I was born, I had an amazing group of ladies teaching me in the nursery. Though I don't remember every lesson, you taught me the right attire for church, how to sit still for service and pay attention, how to be kind to the other children, etc. As I grew older, I went to our Christian school. Again, I was surrounded by godly women who prayed for me and lead me in the right direction. The education I received was outstanding. They pushed me past what I thought I could handle... preparing me for real life :) After I graduated from high school, I went to Providence Baptist College to become a teacher. My desire was to give back what the "aged women" had invested in me. I now have been teaching for 5 years and still have many women cheering me on, ready to help in any way they can. So if there are any "aged women" that want to quit and give up on the ministry, PLEASE don't! I am a product of you, and still need you. Someday I hope to get married and have children, and there will be more questions to come. 😊
