A Modern Wife of Noble Character (Proverbs 31:10-31)

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

Bringing her food from afar

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
