Beauty of Submission

The turn around to the monthly PEARLS meeting was rather quick this time. We were coming off an excellent retreat where we learned about being a beautiful woman with a gentle and quiet spirit and honoring our husbands. God must be trying to tell us something because this PEARLS was on being Submissive to our husbands (maybe He is just talking to me).

We met at Joy's house and began our evening with an ice breaker on different pies. All the pie names were scrambled up and we had to figure out what they were. Stephanie was the winner... and I think she got most of them!

Then Joy led us in a great devotional on being submissive to our husbands. It was another great reminder of the truth God gives us. All scripture is from Him and useful for teaching and rebuking. She reminded us that it might be hard to be submissive, but we are commanded to do so and it shows respect to our husbands when we are. It is honoring to God as well and will strengthen our marriage. If you missed it, you missed some great truth. Truth that we all need to hear.

Then came the eating part:)
Joy demonstrated her wonderful, easy, in the pan pie crust! She uses this one for her wonderful raspberry pie and for a lot of other pies, too. I never knew that making a pie crust could be so easy! Thanks, Joy, for sharing that one with us.
JeriAnn shared a dutch pie crust that is used for a crumb crust...mainly apple pie. Made from brown sugar, flour and oatmeal. Then we got to sample the pies...yum yum!



Our next PEARLS is Tuesday, December 7. We will meet at the church building. Please bring 3-4 dozen cookies or candy to divide into Christmas goodie bags so that we can show kindness to those around us. We will also be studying Kindness. Hope to see you there!
