We’ve heard from many ladies with many angles on being a gracious woman. It has been spiritually edifying for me to work on these posts as well as read the other ladies’ words. As we close out this series, I wanted to highlight examples of how we can be gracious women in our everyday lives: letting someone cut you in

Over the past several weeks, we have extensively discussed the art of a grace-filled life. In Proverbs 11:16, it is said that a gracious woman retains honor. Lois and I have been challenged time and time again that we ought to be gracious women such as this, inspiring us to dig a little deeper into what the Bible says about

Most of us reading this attend church on a regular basis. I would venture to say that the majority of us are also most likely plugged in, active members of our churches.

  Cindy Neuschwanger, or “Miss Cindy”, as we affectionately call her, has been a dear friend to our family for almost as long as we can remember. She resides in Central Florida where she is actively involved in her local church’s ministries. Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them:

The last decade I feel (I hope) that I’ve grown some in the matters of graciousness, discretion, and meekness. If not, please tell me – truly – for I do not want to be a woman that is odious. Yet, there are times in my life that I have been exactly that. I can remember some instances especially from my

In a day and age when being a stay-at-home mother is not the norm, I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom to five wonderful children. It is important to me to invest my time to raise children who are a blessing to me and to others, rather than a burden. It is not always easy, but it is always worth it! Most of
