Proverbs 31 Lady

I was actually going to do a different passage this morning, but I felt this is what the Lord wanted me to put on this morning.
Some of you may of already read this from my other blog, but maybe there's one who needs this so here it is:

Proverbs 31:10-31

I have always loved Proverbs 31
vr 10 - Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
How priceless is that! Our virtue is to be above rubies!
vr 11 - The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
I can't imagine going thru my marriage and my husband not trusting me. Thank the Lord, my husband and I have trust each other.
vr 12 - She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
vr 13 - She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
To do around the house and work so that my husband is pleased is very comforting and pleasing to me. Are you one that is willing to work with your hands for your husband?
vr 14 - She is like the merchants ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
vr 15 - She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
Personally this is one I need to work on, I enjoy cooking and all, but it's one of my favorite things. I think as mothers and wives we all could work more on this.
vr 16 - She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
vr 17 - She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
I maybe wrong, but to me vr 17 is saying she exercises so that she has the strength as well as making sure she gets her needed rest.
vr 18 - She percieveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
This is where she available when needed no matter the hour. For her husband, children or anyone.
vr 19 - She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
vr 20 - She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
I've always looked at this verse as a ministry, whether to those who attend your church and need help, people you help thru a ministry in your church or just people you see in your daily life. IF you can be of assistant to them you reach out to help the poor and needy.
vr 21 - She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
vr 22 - She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
vr 23 - Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
Is your husband know because of ALL the postive your say about him or all the negative?
vr 24 - She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
vr 25 - Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
vr 26 - She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
My prayer is that I am always kind in what I say!
vr 27 - She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Lets not be idle, if your children see that you are idle more times than not, then how will you teach them that idleness is wrong.
vr 28 - Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Do your children call you blessed? Does your husband praise you for what you do?
vr 29 - Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
vr 30 - Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
vr 31 - Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

What kind of woman are you?

This is such an awesome passage for wives, mothers and young ladies to be wives and mothers!
