Reviving Etiquette

We are called to live a life of selfless-ness, how does living for one's self at the expense of others, love? This is an excellent podcast on etiquette, something lost today.

Biblical Beauty

What is bibical beauty? God made us women to be physically beautiful, I think this is an amazing and wonderful gift of God for ourselves and our husbands. We are softer and prettier and gentle and caring. It seems that whatever wonderful and amazing thing God has created, Satan comes along and perverts it and makes it into something gross and digusting.
I believe we are to want to be pretty and embrace our feminity, but today that means "show off your body" and "if you got it, flaunt it". WHY would you take a precious gift meant to share in a loving relationship and embrace of your husband and just put it on display? Covering up doesn't mean you have to be ugly, it just means we hold ourselves precious and save the most intimate parts of ourselves to share with our husbands. I think there is also a tendancy to go the other way, baggy pants with a big sweatshirt, is that feminie? It *can* be but typically it isn't, God made us girls/women, lets embrace that, we can add our personality and likes to our wardrobe, but let us always be mindful of not drawing attention to ourselves and displaying our sexuality. A soft, gentle, quiet and subdued woman of God is the most beautiful thing to behold.

This is biblcal beauty:
1Pe 3:3 Do not let your adorning be external--the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear-- 1Pe 3:4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. 1Pe 3:5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands
