Just A Few Of My Thoughts …

“Bold power and glorious majesty are wrapped around her as she laughs with joy over the latter days. Her teachings are filled with wisdom and kindness as loving instruction pours from her lips. She watches over the ways of her household and meets every need they have. Her sons and daughters arise in one accord to extol her virtues, and her husband arises to speak of her in glowing terms. There are many valiant and noble ones, but you have ascended above them all! Charm can be misleading, and beauty is vain and so quickly fades, but this virtuous woman lives in the wonder, awe, and fear of the Lord . She will be praised throughout eternity. So go ahead and give her the credit that is due, for she has become a radiant woman, and all her loving works of righteousness deserve to be admired at the gateways of every city! Proverbs 31:25-31 TPT

As a young lady, throughout my childhood and as long as they lived, not only did I have my mother as a mentor, but I was blessed with a grandmother who patiently taught me the art of living in a world filled with every kind of situation one can imagine. She made it a point for me to see and know the importance of preserving God’s nature, its beauty, how to add to it in the form of flowers, and the art of caring and appreciating them.

In this passage, King Solomon is describing the attributes of a woman. Such a lady, one filled with wisdom and strong in character, has many skills, while she carries within her a personal strength flowing directly from her Lord. She is a great companion, an excellent wife as well as an excellent mother. Her beauty is one to be desired, and so is her relationship with her God, such as one that can be ours, all found in the asking!

Heavenly Father, help us to remember these attributes, described for this woman, desire them, and be ever so thankful.

In Christ Love
