Yes, I believe the man is the head of the house but I also believe Eve was made from the rib at Adam's side, not his foot. Therefore, as women don't have their place in everything, I don't think 'weaker' is the right word in a lot of cases.
For those who think a woman's place is in the kitchen, how come the cooks at most restaurants are men? If women didn't invent multi-tasking, well then I know they've sure mastered it and reinvented it better than men ever could dream of.
'Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.' James 1;12
Like the true mother of the baby being fought over in the Bible, women will often sacrifice their own desires for the good and well-being of others. What a characteristic of strength.
I can't argue with any of that... nor can I beat you at Scrabble... :) Your logic - and your word bank - is impeccable!
ReplyDeleteSo, you and Cathie play Scrabble, huh? Didn't know that! And as for women being the weaker sex, I think not. The virtuous woman in Proverbs 31 "dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong."v.17, and "Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come." v.25. But our strength is in the Lord, not in how we lord it over our husbands.
