Older Women Mentor Younger Women

OLDER WOMEN MENTOR YOUNG WOMEN
Now more than ever it is important for women to be stewards for the Lord and set a positive example of what a woman should be. In this world we live in, it is easy to get caught up in worldy things; it is easy to give in to the daily stresses and pressures of life. Women can become discouraged in their role as a wife and mother. Especially since there are so many options that provide an easy out of these roles. Therefore, it is most important that the older women in the young women's life say the right things when the young seeks counsel from the old.

The older women also need to live a clean life so that the advice and counsel they give will come from a Godly source. In the article, 'Duties of a Christian Wife', it states: "The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children...that the word of God be not blasphemed." One thing we notice about these verses is that the older women are instructed to teach the younger women how to love their husbands." This passage also suggests that young women need to also lead a good life, acting as examples, so we may be able to teach our young. We may not always have our own mother's or family to mentor us; we can find mentors in other places. Women at work, church, neighbors, friends, etc. can all be mentors.
