Today (March 8th) Is
A Wonderful Day,
The World Over
Celebrate This Day As Women's Day
I Wish All My W.
Friends A Great Day Today As Well As The Days Ahead,
I
Can Remember of Many Women in my life especially on this day,but I am reminded
of the first woman in my life that is none other than my own mother. When I
think of her I am again reminded of yet another wonderful woman mentioned in
the Bible "A Virtuous Woman". In the Book of Proverbs King Lemuel the writer wrote:
The
Virtuous Wife/Woman
Who can
find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.
The heart of her
husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.
She does him good
and not evil
All the days of her life.
She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.
She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.
She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.
She
considers a field and buys it;
From her profits she plants a vineyard.
She
girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms.
She
perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night.
She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle.
She
extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
She
is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes tapestry
for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
She
makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies sashes for the merchants.
Strength
and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.
She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
She
watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her
children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:
“Many
daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.”
Charm is deceitful
and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the Lord,
she shall be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.
(Proverbs 31:29-31)
New King James
Version (NKJV)
