to the point where other women are asking her to teach them to sew. It is a great blessing
to me to see all of these changes occurring with my wife. She is being conformed to the

Titus 2:3-5
Bid the older women similarly to be reverent and devout in their deportment as
becomes those engaged in sacred service, not slanderers or slaves to drink. They are
to give good counsel and be teachers of what is right and noble, so that they will
wisely train the young women to be sane and sober of mind (temperate, disciplined)
and to love their husbands and their children, to be self-controlled, chaste,
homemakers [workers at home], good-natured (kindhearted), adapting and
subordinating themselves to their husbands, that the word of God may not be
exposed to reproach (blasphemed or discredited).
(Amplified Bible)
God has brought forth things in our home that I had not imagined possible in such a short
period of time. There is no doubt that our family appears as a “peculiar people” in this hour
when women are abandoning the traditional feminine roles of motherhood to pursue
careers in the world. My wife and daughter stand out as distinctly different from the other
women, both old and young, who dress to appear sensual and alluring. We are called to be
lights in the midst of darkness, and both my wife and daughter have had opportunities to
encourage others to also choose a course that turns aside from the ways of the world. These
things are truly amazing, and are a source of much satisfaction to me.
