After I married and especially after I began to have my children, I started wearing my
hair up. Not because anyone told me I SHOULD. With small children underfoot, I person-
ally felt it would be a "worry or nuience" to have my hair "in my face, etc." This is not
in anyway, to speak against a woman that feels otherwise. This is MY personal story,
fifty yrs, after the fact.
I will be 70 yrs. (in Sept), which seems unbelivable to me (where have the years gone)!
I have longer hair than when I first married, but it had always been thin and not long. I
received the Holy Ghost between the year (1957) and the year I married (1959). The
summer of 1958 I received the Holy Ghost. I thank God HE found me, just in time. I am
a wife of almost 50 yrs (next Saturday, July 11, 2009), the mother of six wonderful
adult children (three of each), the mother in law of six wonderful "children" God gave me
when they married our sons and daughters. We have 20 gorgeous grandchildren, of which
15 are boys, ages 1-25 1/2. We have 5 beautiful granddaughters ages, 3-13.
Just as my
paternal grandmother, Lizzie Blakey, I have taken my position as a MENTOR very
seriously. Too much to lose to do otherwise.
Having your hair hanging down when you are married and have young children,
could
appear as if you are foot loose and fancy free. or availabe. You can laugh all you want
too, but I could tell you several stories. I know this does not apply in every situation
and sometimes men want their wives to stay/look/act "young" and all that goes with it.
Hey, Bro. or Sis., we are all going to get older. No exceptions! And you better watch
that spirit. Sometimes it is accompanied by PRIDE. The pride of life.
It's HIGH time to grow up!! It's later than you may think! Divorce has crept into
the church by leaps and bounds. Even in the ministry. Don't ever think it could not
happen to you. I know some ot the "best" it has happened to.
1Peter 5:1
1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also
a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
5
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and
hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
Just some sober thoughts and words of wisdom to those who have an ear to hear.
Certainly not for offense to anyone, male or female.
