Once again, I am trying to be happily unaccomplished. If you haven’t read my latest post about the Proverbs 31 woman, check it out here!
I had planned for this post to go up much much much sooner, but as we discussed… I am happily unaccomplished.
So now I am so excited to share with you more from my Bible study about the Proverbs 31 woman!
I hope and pray that your heart gets the same blessing that mine did. Just from pondering a few verses about the Proverbs 31 Woman.
Proverbs 31: 23 – “Her husband is known in the gates; when he sits among the elders of the land.”
Do you leave a good name for your husband? Does your husband leave a good name for you?
Isn’t it amazing how my character is not only a reflection of me, but of my husband as well.
Proverbs 22:1 says, “A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches.”
When my husband and I became married, we became one. Not only am I a character reflection of my husband but I am a character reflection of Christ.
Take a moment and take some time to think, to reflect on your character…
How am I seen through my husbands eyes? What do his friends think of me? What does my community think of me? Am I a reflection of Christ?
Proverbs 31: 24 – “She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies sashes for the merchants.”
So to review what all this woman ALREADY does:
-seeks wool and flax
-brings food from a far
-provides food for the household
-considers a field and buys it
-stretches hands to distaff and holds spindle
-extends hand to poor and needy
-makes tapestry for herself
-AND NOW makes linen and sells it.
She is a woman of many talents…. But aren’t we all when we stop and think about it.
Think about even the small things we get done during the week.
-Dresses kids… or husband in my case 😉
-Grocery shopping
-Cooks multiple meals a day
-Works a full/part time job. (Being a mom is a full time job just on its own.)
-Cleans the house
-Helps a friend whether through action or just listening
-Does something for herself whether that’s a hobby or just trying to get 5 minutes alone. 😉
The blessing in all this is the Lord sees all your labor! Even when no one else does.
So my note to myself this week, is to remember that even my small and most repetitive tasks are important and can be done with a cheerful heart.
And when no one sees my work, or thanks me. God knows…and He saw.
Leave a good name!
Make some linen,
Or whatever your task at hand might be 😉
Smile… God saw!!!
Happy Friyay!
