Where Are The Real Ladies in 2009?

 

How do you expect to attract the perfect gentleman if you are not a perfect “lady?”  A lady is a woman of grace, class; a humble lady; a lady with dignity, charismatic; a lady brings light to any room she enters into – whether there are 2 or 500 people.  A lady comes in all shapes, sizes, colors and personalities.  No one should ever have to introduce a lady as “Lady Tina, etc;” because your actions will provide proof that you are a sincere lady.

 

Has there been a change in the criteria for being a lady?  Many asked in my ministry, why do I use the title “Lady” before every female name within the ministry: I use that title to let the females know, it is still okay to be a lady.  Calling them lady, will remind them that regardless where they are in life; they still need to represent the “lady” within them.

 

We have gotten away from being a true lady: dressing respectfully; respecting ourselves by not allowing anyone to call us out of our name; taking care of our families and teaching our daughters how to be ladies as well as teaching our son’s how to recognize a lady and most importantly, how to treat her like a lady.

 

As I look at the music videos, and commercials on prime time and during the day; the women are half dressed and using sexual innuendos to sell a product.  That is not being a lady and money can’t buy a true lady.  Use your beauty and talent in other places that are reputable; i.e., charity organizations that would love to use your talent as a “Lady” 

 

I ask, has the standard for a lady been lowered or have we as true women allowed the title to be handed to us without question or protest?  Are you proud of your actions, can your daughter or son look at you and tell you are a lady? Are you proud of what they (the children) see in you?

 

Are you a lady today or are you a lady in waiting (waiting to change)?  Tell me if you are a true lady or what are you doing to become a true lady for the first time.  Of course, it is not too late to turn your life around to re-set the standard within your family!
