Our Pastors wife, Mrs. Trela O'Daniel.
She is a friend to us, a teacher,
and the best example of the Proverbs 31 woman
that I have ever known
Proverbs 31:10-31
Who
can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need
of spoil.
She will do him good and not evil
She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
She is like the merchants' ships;she bringeth her food from afar.
She riseth also while it is yet night,and giveth meat to her household,
and
a portion to her maidens.
She
considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a
vineyard.
She
girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
She perceiveth 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 stretcheth out her hand to the poor: yea,
she reacheth 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 maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the
land.
She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the
merchant.
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.
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain:
but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the
gates.
(KJV)
The
true ideal
helpmeet
for our pastor.
Mrs. Trela is a home schooling mother of nine children.
3 boys and 6 beautiful girls.
She cooks wonderfully, sews, and gardens.
She keeps a lovely home in the country and helps with some
of the farm activities. She can do many kinds of crafts.
She is kind and generous to others, and has spent many days
being an encouragement to those who need it.
I have never heard her speak a harsh word to a church member
in all the years I have been there.
She speaks softly and sweetly
to everyone, carefully choosing her words as a Christ would have her.
She is the picture of loveliness. Poised and graceful,
always very feminine in her actions and appearance.
She teaches the ladies class, and I can not think of another lady
that has ever been a better example. She can play the piano,
and she sings in the choir and special music.
The amount of things she does for others and the work at the church
can not be numbered, but the most important
I 'must' mention, is that she is Wise.
The
fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is
wise.
(Prov
11:30)
Our pastors wife it a wonderful soul winner, and many a time
I have watched as she shed a tear for one who was lost.
She is a picture of what we 'could' be for our Lord Jesus.
I love her and I am honored to know her.
