“Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 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 2:3-5

Poem

by $aMsUng


Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn wrote this wonderful poem
when asked to share her "beauty tips."
It was read at her funeral years later.

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness...
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone...

I once said to a friend, “If you have nothing nice to say to me, then don’t say anything.” Only to be told, “Then I’ll have nothing to say to you for the rest of my life.” She had the most unattractive lips I’ve ever seen…

My cousin Janet wrote me, “You are a vivacious young woman-- a kindred spirit full of laughter and fun, a heart as unpretentious and sincere.”
Loveliest eyes and very discerning…

Slim figure? That would be Jing Ram, eats like a bird and shares the rest to other people in need. Her generosity knows no bounds. Of course, there are a lot more givers in our church but they eat like a horse…

Beautiful hair… hhmmm… I’d say April, I have no idea if she lets her children run their fingers through her hair but she always looks it, but still manage to come across beautiful inside and out…

JSL truly exemplifies the Proverbs 31 Woman and she puts us all to shame. Her bearing shows the walk she has with her God.
She has poise…

These are some of the women of BCCB, except for the lone individual with unattractive lips. Their stories are the ones that inspire and empower us. In times when their hearts are vulnerable, they carry on with utmost grace and dignity. And they go inward to find God and a sense of inner peace.

SHALOM!!!
