Noble  Character

This scripture speaks of how to be an excellent Wife and Mother, but the first step is to spend time with the Lord, preparing your heart and drawing closer to the heart of the Father. No matter what stage you are in life, or in your walk with the Lord, striving to become a Proverbs 31 Woman should be put into practice daily.So I encourage you to keep the scriptures posted before you. The ‘Proverbs 31’ Wife is a good provider and protector for all those she loves and cares about. She may be wise to the ways of the world, but her life is guided by the wisdom of God. The key to being a Wife of noble character is found in verse 30, …”But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised”.

My prayer is that you will become a dynamic reflection of God’s amazing love!

Proverbs 31 Woman

A wife of noble character who can find?

She is worth far more than rubies.

Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.

She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.

She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.

She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants.

She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.

She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.

She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.

She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.”

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Be Ye Kind…

When my brother Bill and I were growing up we heard this scripture quoted a lot when we got into a squabble. That was many years ago, but I can still hear my Momma preaching it to us…”Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted forgiving one another “. (Eph 4:32). Even now in my mature years I find it’s certainly a Word to live by!

Try A Little Kindness

Every day we are faced with many choices. But one of the most important things to choose is to begin our day with words of kindness. When we choose our words wisely, we can brighten someone’s day and bring much joy to our own hearts! On the other hand, our negative words have the power to divide and destroy.

Family & Friends are one of God’s greatest Blessings. So let your ‘kindness’ begin with those whom you love and care about so dearly.  When you wake up and in the morning before your feet hit the floor, invite the Lord into your day and ask Him to help you choose your words wisely.  For our actions and reactions set the mode for the whole day.

If you tend be snappy & grumpy in the mornings, just remember this:  God doesn’t just ‘suggest’ we be kind and loving toward each other … HE Commands it!!

God’s command:  “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. (John 15:12)

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. (Ephesians 4:32)

Yes, there will certainly be those moments, but be aware of how you treat others.  Your compassion, respect and love may be just what lead’s them to the heart of Christ!!

Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. (Philippians 4:5)

Purify yourselves by obeying the Truth so that you have sincere love for each other; love one another deeply, from the heart. (1 Peter 1:22)

Prayer:  “O God, I ask that love, respect and compassion flows freely from my heart to all those around me…especially to those whom I love so dearly!”

“Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting … Don’t only give your care, but give your heart as well”. ~ Mother Teresa

Don’t forget…YOU are Daughter and Son’s of the “Most High King”…. an “Heir to the Throne”!  Wear that invisible Crown!!  So, lift your head up high, put a skip in your step and have a beautiful day in His presence!

Because you are his sons/(daughters), God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”  So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir. (Galatians 4:6-7)

The Perfect Tree

Written by:  Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations

I have many beautiful memories of my Brother and I spending hours wading through the snow with a strong determination of finding the perfect Tree.

After we found just the right one, we hitched up “Trigger” our old horse, then went back to the woods and cut the Tree down and hauled it to the house on the old horses’ back.

Momma always had a big pot of steaming Hot Chocolate waiting on the old Wood Stove to warm up these two frozen kids!  It was my Daddy’s job to get that Cedar Tree trimmed and into the house.  Now I could never figure out how that tree could look so small out there in the woods and be so huge when we tried to get through the front door!!  I’m positive that Cedar Tree grew another couple feet after we cut it!! *:o)

Daddy got the ole hand-saw and would generally cut at least 2-feet off in order to get the Tree into the house.  I can still hear Daddy giggling as he looked at me and said…”Why didn’t you get a bigger one Sis”??!!
