Proverbs 31 woman is a woman living out life to the glory of her God! Today thinking on vs 12&13 She will do him good, and not evil all the days of her life. She is like a merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
Although I would say that I want no evil to come upon my dear husband how often do I unintentionally bring evil to him. I am to be his help meet so am I going out of my way to help him? By asking him to do all the little errands since he is out (which he is always willing to do yesterday he dropped off library videos) is not helping him. Olin (our home builders) keeps calling with things to sign. Monday we both had to go sign for the flooring, final costs paper needs to be returned, and now they need one of us to sign something else... also lenders papers need to be returned to fed ex. Soooo this am Roy was taking the package to fed ex and he came back in and asked me to do it. I said yes although I have no idea where it is and not too excited about taking all 5 kids in for a probably less than a minute drop off. After that I will take them all into olin to sign my sig another less than a min activity. So in order to be the best help meet I possibly can I will spend more time getting kids in and out of the car to run these errands and then go to two grocery stores to accomplish the next proverbs 31 verse. This woman went the distance for her family to provide them with food. Since there were no fridgerators in those days she probably had to go to the market often possibly even daily. The blessing of fridgeration!! We are not told of how many children she had but sounds like she had more than one by the word children in various verses. I am willing to go the distance because I love my husband, children, and God. I will do these tasks heartily for the glory of the Lord!! My prayer is to always have this attitude as a first reaction in all that I do at home or out. We all work and can give heartily to the Lord in all that we do. I am sure you all have a better handel on this than I do but know that I will be praying this for each of you throughout the rest of this month! I love you sistas!!

Wow Sarah great thoughts - I love to read the virtuous woman chapter even though it is always a reminder to me of how far short I often fall. Hope that we call an obtain a price "far above rubies."
Proverbs 31:30
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
A warm hug to my sister-in-laws for seeking to be that virtuous wife, mother, friend and SISTER! :)
Have you ever read the Proverbs 31 woman book? It's a lot of fun and gives good insight into how to be a good help mate.
