A Virtuous Woman...her price is far above rubies.

When I am a mother I am going to teach my daughters and my sons these important principles:

1. A woman's worth is not dependent on how sensual, seductive, and beautiful she is.

2. A man should not value a woman merely for her looks and what she will "put out."

3. A woman and a man's roles are separate and distinct for a purpose. Women should not feel unequal towards a man because she is the nurturer. That is a powerful role in and of itself.

4. Modesty is not only present in dress, but in thought and in action. It's one of the most attractive qualities a woman can possess.

5. Women and men should work on developing attributes that will bring them closer to the Lord. They need to be taught to value those attributes in others as they are looking for potential spouses. In others words, it's the "hotness within" that matters most.

So many of these thoughts have come to me within the last 24 hours as I thought about my experiences at prom. I am so grateful that I was taught these values throughout my life.

Thank you for those of you who have contributed to this upbringing! I have a much stronger testimony of this after seeing some very immoral behavior last night.

BRING ON THE VIRTUE!
