Eve, Women of the Bible

There is so much to say here in reference to Eve as a woman and a daughter of God. I'll summarize by adding these comments; as a result of making a hastened decision without consulting with Adam first and having doubt of God's word, Eve committed a sin that ultimately affected all man kind.

Often times in our own lives as wives, mothers and daughters of God, we too make hastened decisions not realizing the aftermath it often leaves on our families both spiritual and fleshly. This was a great story and leaves so much to be said. We are all a work in progress striving to make heaven our home. However, because Eve used her power of pursuasion towards Adam in a negative way, she ultimately put a wedge between Adam and His God not to mention herself and all the seed to follow. With that said, we must be careful with the power we have as Christian women. We have the power to pursuade our spouses also. It can be in a positive or negative manner, but know this, we have the power to cause great dismay and havoc among God's people and the power to bring unity and love by using positive pursuasiveness.

I am learning. Each day is a constant struggle for me, but as I learn to let go and let God have His way, I am learning that it is going to be alright. From my readings, I have several interpretations: The first influence of a woman towards mankind was sinful and caused a ripple effect of destruction; we are not put on earth to lead, but to guide and support; we must realize that we are the weaker vessal and can often be misguided in our daily decision making by others and should always consult God our Saviour as we struggle with our daily spiritual walk. I'm finding that this is what keeps us aligned with God and keeps us doing His will and not our own.

I love you all. Faye, this is going to be so helpful for many of us as we strive to be better Christian women, wives and mothers. May God add a special blessing to your life for your heartfelt act of love.

In Love, Sis. Miriam Patterson

My Sister

In loving memory of my beloved sister, I will miss you dearly; think of you every day, hour and passing moment. I will remember you and all the great qualities of humility you possess like our Mom. I often told you how much I admired those qualities in you and to never compromise who you were for any one or thing. You never did. I cannot express the void, pain and sorrow that your passing has marked within my soul. I can say that I'll never say goodbye, only I'll meet you on the other side. Because, Heaven's on the other side . . . You were so brave and bold. I remember with each birth you never mumbled a word or moaned in pain. I never could understand that. But now I understand, you my dear were a true "soldier." I love you dearly my little sister; but God loves you best . . . Your smile and laughter will always radiate throughout my soul whenever I think of you. We, your siblings, promise to devote special attention and loving care to your beautiful children you've left behind with your mark in life with great diligence and honor.

With Timeless Love,

Your Sister
