"Who can find a
virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies...She riseth also while it is
yet night, and giveth meat to her household...strength and honour are her
clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come... She openeth her mouth with
wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness...She looketh well to the ways
of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness...Her children arise up,
and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her...but a woman that
feareth the Lord, she shall be praised..."
God bestowed a
great responsibility upon the woman. Not
only does she need to change diapers, wipe runny nose, settle sibling disputes,
and be prepared for their daily needs, but she needs to raise her children with a loving and kind heart. A mother is to "train up the child in
the way he should go." Only by
grounding them in the Word of God can she do this.
I praise God that
my mother was a virtuous woman. She was
honest, loving, and kind. Her words were
filled with Godly wisdom. She was hard-working,
rising early and working into the night to prepare for her children's
needs. She showed respect for all in the
household. My mother feared the Lord,
and for that she shall be praised.
