the Proverbs Woman

I have begun reading a Chapter in Proverbs each day. There are 31 chapters in the book of Proverbs. If I take a Proverb a day - I can read the same numbered chapter on the same date of the month. For instance, today is, let’s say September 14; therefore, I will read Proverbs 14.

I also like to read Psalms 91 each day. It builds my armor against the devil!

In Proverbs 31, it gives a layout of what the woman of the house is to be. I want to be more like that woman, taking care of my home, my "things", my family, and those who work or around me. I want to store up for the winter - we've started canning and putting things in the freezer. I make quilts to keep us warm.

" She will do him good and not evil all the days of he life, She will seek wool, flax and work willingly with her hands, She is like the merchants' ships - she brings her food from afar; She rises while it is still night and gives meat to her household and a portion to her maidens; She considers a field and buys it, with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard; She girded her loins with strength and strengthens her arms; She perceives that her merchandise is good, her candle goeth not out by night; She layeth her hands to the spindle and her hands hold the distaff; She stretched out her hand to the poor; yea she reaches forth her hands to the needy; She is not afraid of the snow for her household; for all her household are clothed with scarlet; She makes herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple; She makes fine linen and sells and; Strength and honor are her clothing and she shall rejoice in time to come; she opens her mouth with wisdom and in her tongue is the law of kindness; She looks well to the ways of her household and eats not the bread of idleness.; Her children shall rise up and call her blessed ... Favor is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Giver her of the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates" Proverbs 31: 10-31

I think we've all have room for improvement in our lives. And, I want to make sure that I am like this woman in Proverbs 31.
