Women


“Many women do noble things,
    but you surpass them all."
 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
    but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. 
Honor her for all that her hands have done,
    and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
Proverbs 31:29-31

Sometimes every day life is over whelming and we don't know which way to turn.  We strive to be the best and to do our best at whatever we tackle.  We want to be the Proverbs 31 woman who had it all together and knew exactly what was expected of her.  She could do no wrong!  My take on the Proverbs 31 woman is she was an example for us to follow.  An example for us women to pull together and become mentors to the younger generation.  We are to teach our daughters, our granddaughters, friends, sisters, etc. what it means to be a Godly woman; wife, mother and grandmother.  We are to help them grow daily and to put the Word of God to use in their lives so they can do the same for the younger generations that will follow them.  

I don't know about you but I so want to be a Proverbs 31 Woman!
 
She Will Be Called Blessed
 
Her strength and her dignity clothe her with beauty;
In works of her hands she excells.
A heart of compassion she turns to the needy;
In service to others, she gives of herself.
 
She will be called blessed by her sons and her daughters;
Precious to the Father are those who seek His ways.
She will be called blessed, held above every other, 
Blessed is the mother who turns to God in praise.
 
She rises each morning to see her household;
She looks toward the future with joy.
She teaches her children true lessons of kindness;
And shares with them wisdom the world can't destroy.
 
She will be called blessed by her sons and her daughters;
Precious to the Father are those who seek His ways.
She will be called blessed, held above every other,
Blessed is the mother who turns to God in praise.
