With Propriety: An Instant Witness....

An Instant Witness....

One of the amazing things about wearing a headcovering

is the instant witness it gives to those around us.

I am convicted to wear my headcovering during all

waking hours. So when I am out shopping - yes - I am 'covered'.

Recently at a shoe store... a young male employee came up to me and wished me a good evening -

wondering how I was and if I had had a good day.

I assured him I did have a good day and inquired of his as well.

I was pleasantly surprised when he responded that it was a

good day to be with his Creator. I had to smile.

We went on to have a brief and pleasant chat -

realizing that we were both choosing to live for Jesus.

I am fully convinced this young man approached me

in the manner he did and shared the things he did

because of my headcovering and modest dress.

They instantly speak 'daughter of the King' or someone of faith

and may give someone else an opportunity to 'give witness' as well.

Obedience has many blessings - a good testimony is one of them!

My friends fabric shopping - or 'being a witness' in Walmart :)

Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season... 2 Timothy 4:2a

Be a bright witness in this dark world ~Joyce

Anonymous said...: Hello ;-). First time commenting. Forgive what may seem unkind, but, as a non-covering christian lady, I have never seen a 'witness' of Christ's love when seeing covered ladies in any store. I'm not making that up. They seem to 'cloister' together, avoid all eye contact with any other person outside of their group. Clothing may tell an onlooker of one's faith. But clothing does not transmit the love of God with shuttered faces. If I were not a believer, the many times I've run across covered ladies much as the group in the picture, I sure wouldn't be tempted to find out how to be one.; June 18, 2013 at 6:03 AM

The Scriptures

I Corinthians 11:1-16

1 Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.

2 Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.

3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.

6 For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.

7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man.

9 Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.

10 For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

11 Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord.

12 For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God.

13 Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.

16 But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.

I Timothy 2:9-10
in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.
