Becoming a Titus 2 Woman

Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. Titus 2:4,5

Chat with Mara

Today I was working in the kitchen and I had a nice chat with Mara who has just recently turned 4. Here is how it went:

Mara: I want to be Cinderella. Call me Cinderella.

Mom: Okay Cinderella, please get a rag and start scrubbing the floors. And after you do that could you pick up all the laundry and toys?

Mara: Cinderella didn't pick up toys.

Mom: Cinderella did ALL the cooking and cleaning in the house.

Mara: I don't want to be Cinderella, I want to be Sleeping Beauty.

Mom: Okay Sleeping Beauty, go and lay down and take a nap until Prince Charming comes and wakes you.

Mara: There isn't any Prince Charming for real.

Mom: Yes there is, I married him. Dad is my Prince Charming, someday you will get one to if it is the Lord's will.

Mara: I don't want to marry Prince Charming, I want to marry Spiderman.

Mom: Are you sure? You will have to clean up spider webs all over the place all the time.

Mara: I just want to be called Mara.

Mom: Okay.

I think she made the right choice. What do you think?

oh how sweet and precious! And I think Mara learned a valuable lesson that is hard for even adults to learn! We try so hard to be what we think seems romantic or beautiful when all along the best thing we can be is the person God created us to be! :)
