uplifting our brothers
Yet another post which saves me from having to write about another topic I feel strongly about. I've noticed how socially acceptable male bashing is. Men are often belittled and depicted as incompetent oafs in greeting cards, tv shows and in general conversations. I believe God created men and women differently, equals but with different abilities and strengths which compliment each other. Yes, there are things that blokes tend not to be good at and we women are, but it works in reverse too where they are very good at things that we aren't. I like how the article spoke about the race going from equality to superiority. We are created in God's image, we are equals, no one better than the other and we should respect each other as creatures made in His image. It's something I'm trying to be mindful of when talking with girlfriends or talking about my family, that I speak with respect of the men in my life and help them where I can where needed without smug superiority.

You make some really good points here, hon. Ones I've often thought about myself. I find myself doing it at times with my sisters in law about my brothers, and I guess I can feel like I can get away with it, cos that's what you do to brothers. Lord, change my heart! Thanks for the challenge x
