Dear All,
I am not a woman of Proverbs 31
I am not as smart, as diligent or as hardworking as her
Even though I try, I can't
But I know some friends who are like her
One thing that I learn from her
is having a heart at home
And I pray that God give me a quiet spirit to be content at home
and do my best for my hubby and kids
Ok.. now this is my modern version of Proverbs 31
A modern wife of noble character who
can find
She is worth far more than the
retirement funds
Her husband has full confidence in her
And lacks nothing of value
She brings him revenues, not
expenditures,
All the days of her life
She selects winter and spring coats
from the clearance racks
And works eagerly with her clipped
coupons
She is like the GFS or Sysco trucks
She gets up when the buzzer buzzes
She provides healthy breakfast for her
family
And portions for her kids’ pets
She considers a second house and buys
it
Out of her grocery budget savings
(thanks to coupons), she sets up an online store
She determines to complete her to do
list
Her arms (thanks to Pilates) are strong
for her tasks
She sees that her Etsy shop is
profitable
And her laptop does not turn off at
night (to see her ebay listings, not her friends’ statutes on facebook
)
In her hand she holds the Kitchenaid
mixer
And grasps the attachment with her
fingers
She writes a check to the World Vision
And volunteers in the soup kitchen
When it snows she has no fear for her
household
For all of them are clothed in the
North Face (which she got from clearance rack in an outlet)
She buys 1800 thread counts Egyptian
cotton sheet for her bed
She is clothed in fine linen and
cashmere
Her husband is respected in the
Indonesian society
Where he takes his seat among the
others
She makes beautiful crafts and sells
them on Etsy.com
And supplies her amazon store
She has a lot of confidence and self-
respect
She does not worry about the future
She speaks with wisdom
And ready to give any advices when
asked
She watches the affairs of her
household
And not lazily being a couch potato,
watching the reality shows all day long
Her children arise and call her
“supermom”
Her husband also and he praises her;
Many woman do noble things,
But you surpass them all
Charm is deceptive and beauty is vain
But a woman who fears the Lord is to be
praised
Give her the reward that she has earned
And let her works bring her praise at
the Indonesian Community
