In her hands she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. She is the distaff side and he is the spear side. Years ago a woman was spoken highly of if she had her distaff and her spindle. That was said to be her means of making things for her household. The man was the spear side, to be outside providing for his family.
As we see now times have changed, not many women stay within the home. Yet are we stronger one might say, because not only are we doing the spear side, we are the distaff side as well. I think we need to stop and think for a moment though what are we doing to our family? Is it damaging to play both sides? Being distaff does not mean that you are less then the spear. God has placed you where he knows you fit best.
Can you hold your place with distaff, are you powerful enough to know everything you wish to grasp is at your finger tips!
