WIFE and MOTHER

 

An Excellent wife, who can find?

For her worth is far above jewels.

The heart of her husband trusts in her.

And he will have no lack of gain.

She does him good and not evil

All the days of her life.

She extends her hand to the poor:

And she stretches out her hands to the needy.

She is not afraid of the snow for her household,

For all her household are clothed with scarlet.

Strength and dignity are her clothing,

And she smiles at the future.

She opens her mouth in wisdom.

And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

She looks well to ways of her household,

And does not eat the bread of idleness.

Her children rise up and bless her:

Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,

But a woman who fears the Lord,

She shall be praised.

Give her the product of her hands,

And let her works praise her in the gates.

 

"The gift of God is eternal life"

ROMANS 6:23
