Women

I Am a 'Kept ' Woman

You see, there were a few times when I thought I would lose my mind,

But GOD kept me sane. (Isa.26:3)

There were times when I thought I could go no longer,

But the LORD kept me moving. (Gen 28:15)

At times, I've wanted to lash out at those whom I felt had done me wrong,

But the LORD kept my mouth shut.. (Psa.13)

Sometimes, I think the money just isn't enough,

But GOD has helped me to keep the lights on, the water on, the car paid, the house paid, etc..., (Matt.6:25 -34)

When I thought I would fall, HE kept me up.

When I thought I was weak, HE kept me strong! (I Pet. 5:7, Matt. 11:28-30)

I could go on and on and on, but I'm sure you hear me!

I'm blessed to be 'kept '

Do you know a 'kept ' woman?

If so pass it on to her to let her know she is 'Kept '

I'm "Kept" by the Love and Grace of God.



THE WORTH OF A WOMAN

Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.
They have the compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Please pass this along to all your women friends and relatives to remind them just how amazing they are.



WORDS OF WISDOM To Women

Someone will always be prettier.

Some will always be smarter.

Some of their houses will be bigger.

Some will drive a better car.

Their children will do better in school.

And their husband will fix more things around the house.

So let it go, and love you and your circumstances.

Think about it!

The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.

And the most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children.

And the richest woman you know, she's got the car, the house, the clothes might be lonely.

And the word says, "If I have not Love, I am nothing."

So, again, love you.

Love who you are.

Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say,

"I am too blessed to be stressed and too anointed, to be disappointed!"

"Winners make things happen~~

Losers let things happen."

Be "blessed" ladies~~~ ~~

and pass this on to encourage another woman.

"To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world."





Women of Christ
by Kathleen Higham

Drawn by the depths of their desire
I can't believe what I have learned
Two women who are serving unselfishly
Never ending all consuming and concerned

These women are the wives of Pastors
As they lay their hearts on their sleeve
Relentlessly giving all that they have
But passionately to Jesus they cleave

So much alike yet so different
One captures you with her voice
The other with a heart so pure
And both have made this choice

To serve with a Christ like life
With courage when trouble is near
Always putting others above themselves
Even when suffering with their own fear

Drawn by the depths of their desire
I am honored to love each one
Sisters who have ministered to me
For their work is never done

I see faces glowing with joy
Giving praise to the Lord every day
Two women much like each other
Only God could have made them that way

I am so utterly thankful
God blesses me again and again
Drawn by the depths of their desire
Two women I call my friend

When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being.


When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils.


But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man.


I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.


Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity.


From one bone, I fashioned you.


I chose the bone that protects man's life.

I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him as you are meant to do.


Around this one bone, I shaped you.......
I molded you.


I created you perfectly and beautifully.


Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile.


You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart.


His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life.


The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.


You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to be above him.


You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to him.


You are my perfect angel.....You are my beautiful little girl.


You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes fill when I see the virtues in your heart.


Your eyes......don't change them.


Your lips-how lovely when they part in prayer.


Your hands so gentle to touch.


I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep.


I've held your heart close to mine.


Of all that lives and breathes, you are most like me.


Adam walked with me in the cool of the day, yet he was lonely.


He could not see me or touch me.


He could only feel me.


So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you; my holiness, my strength, my purity, my love, my protection and support..

You are special because you are an extension of me.


Man represents my image, woman my emotions.


Together, you represent the totality of God.


Send this to all of the wonderful women you know to bless their day.



From Vessel of Honor

The Beauty of a Woman isn’t in the

clothes she wears,

the figure that she carries or the way she

combs her hair.


The Beauty of a Woman is seen in her

eyes, because that is the doorway to her

heart, the place where God’s

pure love resides.


The true Beauty in a Woman is reflected

by her very soul and spirit; it is the caring

that she gives and the passion that she shows.

The true Beauty of a Woman with

passing years... only grows.

~A woman came not from man's head to be over ruled, not from his feet to be walked on, but from his side to be equal,
under his arm to be held, and cherished,
by his heart, to be loved as Christ loved the Church
