To my female readers—
Do you feel left out of this Christmas carol?
God rest you merry, Gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay.
Not to worry, God’s got it covered–in the well-known description of the wife of noble character:
Proverbs 31:25 (NIV)
She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
Different gender. Same attitude.
Another good reading would be Mary’s ‘Magnificat’; a calm and terrible grandeur.
Can’t disagree with that–awesome!
