It's a shame that it is hard to find some modest clothing for girls, and the styles now a days! Oh my! My girls are 1 and 7 and modesty is what they are growing up with. It's not like one day we are going to say, now you can't wear short shorts or short skirts, they just know that is the way things have always been. My 7 yr old is always pointing out how someone is not dressing modestly. I am glad she is choosing to serve the Lord that way too. I like how you put it that way.

Those that are expecting are Ruthie and Elizabeth {Sloan} Martinez (not to be confused with Liz Sloan. Liz Sloan is not expecting.)<br /><br />My sweet mother-in-law always counts those grandchildren that she has lost through miscarriages, which sometimes confuses people because this is not a common practice. If you count those who have been lost, those that the Lord has allowed to be born, and those that are on their way, there are a grand total of 36!Jolenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00843937048617443878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390476432012676756.post-75094380963547115592012-06-06T01:02:06.219-07:002012-06-06T01:02:06.219-07:00Yes, Jessi, they do.... the "orthodox" r...Yes, Jessi, they do.... the "orthodox" religious Jewish ladies keep their hair covered at all times.

Night and day difference from Ukraine, that's for sure! I love wearing skirts and do a lot, though not all the time. :) I would love to wear a skirt all the time though, and I plan too once I can get enough of them in my wardrobe! I'm sure I would also fit right in there, though not here. I get weird looks and have gotten some not so nice comments from my grandmas about it. :P<br /><br />And wait a minute! What do you mean you don't "fit in" in Ukraine? Lots of Ukrainian women wear skirts too.. ;) That are 6" long!

I didn't realize that religious Jewish ladies wore such stylish yet modest clothing, and it's a joy to see such beautiful, modest clothing being worn simply because the wearer feels that it pleases God. I think we lose sight of that here in North America sometimes, thinking we have to be modest or stylish, but never both!

I'm sure it's everywhere I just notice it here. Even in our churches our men must cover their eyes. The one place they should be able to come and not worry!

You are right; it is so refreshing! Dress is sometimes (actually a lot of the times) so ungodly here in the states. The sad thing is that you're seeing it more and more with Christan women and girls. It breaks my heart. It's good to see these ladies there in Israel dressing so modestly, and yet they look "stylish" and most of all feminine. Very good post, Jolene.
