Whenever I read Prov. 31, I feel inadequate. The list of the perfect woman is exhausting and impossible. My Bible has a footnote listing women of the Bible who were noteworthy like Miriam, Deborah, Ruth, Huldah, Hannah, Esther, that Shunammite. (That's what Elijah calls her!). The story is in II Kings 4. Read it for yourself. There are many more women who are worthy of mention, living their lives as devotedly to God as they could. Wholehearted I would say. That's all I can do. ...'a woman who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord, she shall be praised.' last verse.
That's what I'll try to remember for today.
I have lots to do again...Lord help me do what's important in Your eyes.
It's barely light outside or seems barely. I'll probably be surprised at what time it is when I go into the kitchen. Chow.
