A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax,and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark;she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;her husband also, and he praises her:
29 "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
After reading this, I am inspired! I pray that I can be adored by my children and my husband. I pray that the way that I care for them blesses their lives and that I make a difference in their daily lives.
We moved down to Texas the day after school got out, and tonight is the last night of summer. We spent all summer down here at Sunny Glen. We have had our challenges and adjustments, but overall we are so excited that we are here in this place.
I thank God that he has brought us here. My husband Jason is so amazing. He is such a blessing to me. He is so patient. He is so loving. Watching him and working side by side with him is such a wonderful gift. Also I love that we are here a a family. Sometimes this is hard and challenging because we sacrifice personal family time for the job, but also we are always together as a family. We are growing together. Christopher amazes me. He talks about God and everything with such maturity and confidence. Thank you Jesus for all that you are doing in his little life. He has such an amazing spirit. He loves you. He told me he loves you more than anyone in the world. That is beautiful! Protect him and help us to be able to give him all the time and attention he needs to grow into the amazing child, adult, and disciple.
