The Tansy Patch

Hello! Welcome to The Tansy Patch! This is a blog for young ladies and girls who desire to honor and serve the King of Kings. I hope and pray it will be a place where you can receive encouragement and grow closer to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

The title The Tansy Patch came from one of my favorite books, Emily of New Moon, by L. M. Montgomery. In the book, it is the home of Teddy Kent, whom Emily, in the third and final book of the trilogy, eventually marries.

Godly Womanhood

"Godly womanhood . . . the very phrase sounds strange in our ears. We never hear it now. We hear about every other type of women: beautiful women, smart women, sophisticated women, career women, talented women, divorced women. But so seldom do we hear of a godly woman--or of a godly man either, for that matter. We believe women come nearer to fulfilling their God-given function in the home than anywhere else. It is a much nobler thing to be a good wife than to be Miss America. It is a greater achievement to establish a Christian home than it is to produce a second-rate novel filled with filth. It is a far, far better thing in the realms of morals to be old-fashioned, than to be ultra-modern. The world has enough women who know how to be smart. It needs women who are willing to be simple. The world has enough women who know how to be brilliant. It needs some who will be brave. The world has enough women who are popular. It needs more who are pure. We need women, and men, too, who would rather be morally right than socially correct."
