Being the Older Woman
Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.
(Titus 2:3-5 ESV)
What a wonderful system God instituted for us women to learn to grown in godliness. And what a difficult command too. How do we go about doing this? If you are an older woman (and you are to someone), how do you join in with another woman in this type of relationship? First you have to get to know a younger woman. If you haven't noticed yet, our church has a lot of new young women. This year the women will have many different opportunities to fellowship with one another. But please look beyond the obvious. These are not just times to hang out and have fun. Consider them times to get to know a younger woman. Take time to make connections that will go beyond the event and invite them to your home. Pray that God will lay a woman on your heart this year to develop a closer relationship with. Pray that God will give you the time and energy to pursue another lady.
