In Praise of a Good Wife
Proverbs 31:10-31
10A truly good wife is the most precious treasure a man can find!
11Her husband depends on her, and she never lets him down.
12She is good to him every day of her life,
13and with her own hands she gladly makes clothes.
14She is like a sailing ship that brings food from across the sea.
15She gets up before daylight to prepare food for her family and for
her servants.
16She knows how to buy land and how to plant a vineyard,
17and she always works hard.
18She knows when to buy or sell, and she stays busy until late at night.
19She spins her own cloth,
20and she helps the poor and the needy.
21Her family has warm clothing, and so she doesn't worry when it snows.
22She does her own sewing, and everything she wears is beautiful.
23Her husband is a well-known and respected leader in the city.
24She makes clothes to sell to the shop owners.
25She is strong and graceful, [b] as well as cheerful about the future.
26Her words are sensible, and her advice is thoughtful.
27She takes good care of her family and is never lazy.
28Her children praise her, and with great pride her husband says,
29"There are many good women, but you are the best!"
30Charm can be deceiving, and beauty fades away, but a woman who honors the LORD
deserves to be praised.
31Show her respect-- praise her in public for what she has done.
Proverbs 31 DILs....
I just got finished reading the updates on all my family's blog spots, and just feel so blessed. Joshua, Kristi and all the DIL except Molly (hint, hint, hint, Molly) have a blog for me to read. I just feel blessed that they all love the Lord, and are sharing their love for Him and for their families here on line. And the cool thing is I am learning from them. Molly you need to do a blog too! I get to see pictures of my away babies, and also my here ones. They are all such busy families, and I am, like I said before, blessed to get to share in their lives. Keep on blogging!

We are blessed to have you as our MIL. Thank you for raising such wonderful men who are great husbands and fathers. Thanks for your encouragement.
Yeah, thanks, it IS encouraging when people let you know that the work youa re doing is showing. I love you and miss you and am glad that we have ways to keep in touch and we don't live in like the 1800s!(well, I don't know, that might not be SO bad....)
YEAH, MOOOLLLY. WE all have one and YOU don't! j/k!! But Joshua's blog is virtually not there...can you really count it?
Amen MaryLou! You are blessed beyond measure! (I love your daughter-in-laws and daughters too!)
