Yesterday my mom and I met to discuss the chapter in the book we read together, Girl Talk. There's discussion questions at the end of each chapter. At the end of our most recent chapter, it encouraged daughters and mothers to make a list of qualities of biblical womanhood based on Proverbs 3:10-31, Titus 2:3-5, 1 Timothy 5:9-10, and 1 Peter 3:1-6. Here's the list we made:
- Trustworthy (Prov. 31:11)
- Looks out for others (Prov. 31:15)
- Not lazy (Prov. 31:27)
- Uses her gifts well (Prov. 31:17)
