Happy International Women’s Day!!! My friend & co-worker, Jonathan just went out to pick up all the ladies in the office coffee! awwwwwe! fyi: he’s single & a moG ;)

Chances are if you are a woman and a Christian, you’ve read Proverbs 31…

Have a read and be encouraged by this amazing role model!

¹⁰ Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
      She is more precious than rubies.
¹¹ Her husband can trust her,
      and she will greatly enrich his life.
¹² She brings him good, not harm,
      all the days of her life.

¹³ She finds wool and flax
      and busily spins it.
¹⁴ She is like a merchant’s ship,
      bringing her food from afar.
¹⁵ She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household
      and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.

¹⁶ She goes to inspect a field and buys it;
      with her earnings she plants a vineyard.
¹⁷ She is energetic and strong,
      a hard worker.
¹⁸ She makes sure her dealings are profitable;
      her lamp burns late into the night.

¹⁹ Her hands are busy spinning thread,
      her fingers twisting fiber.
²⁰ She extends a helping hand to the poor
      and opens her arms to the needy.
²¹ She has no fear of winter for her household,
      for everyone has warm clothes.

²² She makes her own bedspreads.
      She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns.
²³ Her husband is well known at the city gates,
      where he sits with the other civic leaders.
²⁴ She makes belted linen garments
      and sashes to sell to the merchants.

²⁵ She is clothed with strength and dignity,
      and she laughs without fear of the future.
²⁶ When she speaks, her words are wise,
      and she gives instructions with kindness.
²⁷ She carefully watches everything in her household
      and suffers nothing from laziness.

²⁸ Her children stand and bless her.
Her husband praises her:
²⁹ “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world,
but you surpass them all!”

³⁰ Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised.
³¹ Reward her for all she has done.
Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

-Proverbs 31:10-31
