My grandma is one of my favorite people. She is kind, gentle, and generous. She makes the best chocolate chip cookies. And she daily lives out what steadfast faith and trust in God looks like.
She is a woman I greatly admire, and I have learned a good deal of valuable life lessons throughout the years simply by observing her, asking questions, and listening.
For instance: When speaking, honesty is always best. But sometimes keeping your mouth shut is far better.
Strength is often best shown by knowing that there are times to lead, and this might not be it.
And lastly, to make Grandma’s chocolate chip cookies, follow the recipe exactly. Measure everything. Even the chocolate chips. (The fact that I don’t follow this advice is probably to fault for my comparatively sub-standard cookie skills.)
We all have women in our lives from whom we’ve learned powerful life lessons. And the Bible is chock-full of stories of women just like those around us—women who are wives and mothers, women who are grieving and broken, and women who are leaders at work or in their community.
Life Lessons from Women in the Bible is a 6-session study by Rhonda Kelley that focuses on women in all walks of life and the lessons we can learn from them. It’s a wonderful thing to be able to learn from women directly involved in our lives, but we can also learn a great deal from studying the lives of those who came before us. No matter how long ago they lived, the lives of these women still preach lessons that speak into our lives today.
(The Bible is pretty cool like that.)
