Proverbs 31:10-12

"Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband does safely trust in her...she will do him good and not evil all the days of her life."

Are YOU Virtuous?



Interpose virtuous and woman in a sentence, in all solemnity in a supermarket checkout and listen...what do you hear? Probably laughter, or nothing at all I want to see in  print on my blog site. The two words together are not commonplace, nor do they seem to agree within modern society. Beyond being merely "uncool" to the younger generation, they truly have lost the desire to be heard together or read together. Meaning gives way to lost  meaning in our current popular vocabulary. What's a girl to do? Speak them loud and speak them often! Live their meaning to their fullest. By all means, get a dictionary and your bible, and get to work ladies! You women of virtue, with your Word hungry husbands and your 9.5 children, your apron strings dangling amidst your hips, ears laden with shrill screams from sticky toddlers, potty training 3 year olds, messy room-filled homes, Mini- vans and SUV's in your driveways, yes you!! You are called to be virtuous! God challenges you and I challenge you. Let's see if we can't change the supermarket "lingo" from, "Hey, check out that hottie!", to, "Well I do declare! I believe I see a virtuous woman walking towards me!"

    Amen, Sister! We all need to do our parts, whether we work in the home or out of it. For myself, I try to set the standard and the example at my workplace, sharing God when possible.

    Keep up the encouraging and challenging words!
