My sister served as an instructor in the Army during the time of the Vietnam War. She attained the rank of sergeant. She had wanted to go overseas, but was too valuable stateside where she taught the men going to a foreign land.
During those early years of the conflict, in order to fly standby, you needed to be in uniform. On a flight, an elderly woman sitting next to her asked if she was attending the girl scouts jamboree in New York. You see, in those days woman soldiers did not get the recognition they deserved.
The Bible gives accounts of many women who have served our Lord faithfully, Lydia and Priscilla are examples in the New Testament. Regrettably, many fail to recognize the input of women in Christian service in our present age.
A gracious woman gets honor, and violent men get riches.
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
Honor these women and thank them for their service. Give it some consideration.
