I just wanted to share a quick picture of the new covering. It is such an adjustment!

About Me
My Family
The inspiration behind everything that I do, my family is so precious to me!
Rick
Our Leader, Protecter, and Provider, my wonderful husband is the most amazing man I have ever met. He is a loving example to our boys of just what a husband should be.
Melly Elizabeth
Wife, Mommy and Homemaker...these are the labels that describe what I do. I couldn't imagine wanting to be anything other than these things. I love being here in my home, taking care of my family and creating a warm and comfortable place for my husband to come home to each day.
Jacob
Intellegent, charming, and witty, Jacob keeps life interesting around our house. Always full of questions and insight, he is never short of words! He relishes his role as "oldest brother" and loves to be my helper.
Joshua
The "Bear". Energetic, rambunctious, and full of all things "boy", Joshua is our little wild bear! He is also one of the sweetest people that I have ever met. Full of hugs and kisses, it is amazing to see the contrast between his rough and tumble ways and his gentle kindness.
Joseph
Joseph is such a joy! His smile lights up the room, and his playful expressions can't help but be endearing. He finds humor in nearly everything. He looks up to his older brothers and tries to keep up with them at every turn.
James
James is my adorable, precious, rambunctious little one! Always eager to be a helper, highly affectionate, and a perfectionist like his Mama, he's the sunshine of my day!
John David
Our newest little addition, John David is such a blessing! He already looks up to his brothers, and seems to be in a hurry to join in their fun. We love him so much, and thank God for sending this darling child into our lives!
Do the ends scratch you at all? It is a nice covering, crisp looking. Ours are gathered so I starch it like crazy to get them to look crisp.
ReplyDeleteI used to use that kind of mesh for my covering (tied "tightly" under chin). It was never a bother for me unless I wear a felt bonnet for a extended time which made my ear ache from pressure from hearing aids. I kind of miss that kind as to always looking 'crisp' all the time. But then, as a busy mama I appreciates my covering (similar to what I could figure out to your old ones). I just pitch it in washing machine and then drap it over upside-down half-gallon canning jar. I do not starch mine. You got my curiosity- what church you are in process of joining? My dh was raised Catholic. My grandmother went plain after I was born. We both are now OORB. So, seeker's journey stories always interest me!
ReplyDeleteSee I love that type of covering...but it's just a little too see thru for me. I wonder if one could be made exactly like that, but with something more uh, something that is not as see thru?
ReplyDeleteYeah there are coverings like that...the Amish have kapps similar to yours but they are plain white and crisp instead of mesh.
Now my mind is just wandering as visions of headcoverings dance in my head...lol.
Evening blessings,
Dawn
PS..I do like that covering on you. Looks very nice :)
I felt the need to write today. Since being called to modesty and head covering, my relations with my children have been strained. I am 53 yrs old and love my 4 children dearly. This weekend, my oldest daughter of 25yrs, told me that I was "looney" and could no longer bear to be around me. She said her brother and sisters thought I was looney too. She is always in church, yet, cannot see. I cried and cried, asking God to show me if I have been deceived and erred in this calling. There was only silence. If I had erred and hurt my child, then I was wrong. If I had really heard from God, then I must stand strong. Late last night, my son called to tell me he loved me and if I was happy then he was happy - and he thought I was happy with my new dress and covering. God doesn't always speak to us immediately. There is a reason for the silence, to wait, a time to determine to stand strong. It would encourage me to hear of other experiences of the problems with covering with family.
ReplyDeleteJean,
