Proverbs 31:10-31

A capable, intelligent, and virtuous woman--who is he who can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls.

The heart of her husband trusts in her confidently and believes in her securely, so that he has no lack of honest gain, or need of dishonest spoil.

She comforts, encourages, and does him only good as long as there is life within her.

She seeks out wool and flax and works with willing hands to develop it.

She is like the merchant ships loaded with foodstuffs; she brings her household's food from a far country.

She rises while it is yet night and gets spiritual food for her household and assigns her maids their tasks.

She considers a new field before she buys or accepts it; with her savings of time and strength she plants fruitful vines in her vineyard.

She girds herself with strength; spiritual, mental, and physical fitness for her God-given task, and makes her arms strong and firm.

She tastes and sees that her gain from work with and for God is good; her lamp goes not out, but it burns on continually through the night of trouble, or sorrow, warning away fear, doubt, and distrust.

She lays her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

She opens her hand to the poor, yes, she reaches out her filled hands to the needy whether in body, mind, or spirit.

She fears not the snow for her family, for all her household are doubly clothed in scarlet.

She makes for herself coverlets, cushions, and rugs of tapestry. Her clothing is of linen, pure and fine, and of purple such as that of which the clothing of the priests and the hallowed cloths of the temple were made.

Her husband is known in the city's gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.

She makes fine linen garments and leads others to buy them; she delivers to the merchants girdles.

Strength and dignity are her clothing and her position is strong and secure; she rejoices over the future, knowing that she and her family are in readiness for it!

She opens her mouth in skillful and godly Wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness giving counsel and instruction.

She looks well to how things go in her household, and the bread of idleness, gossip, discontent, and self-pity she will not eat.

Her children rise up and call her blessed; and her husband boasts of and praises her, saying,

Many daughters have done virtuously, nobly, and well, but you excel them all.

Charm and grace are deceptive, and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord, she shall be praised!

Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates of the city!

MOF Update!

I have been remodeling Moms of Faith. I have also added some new content. I updated and re-did the Daily Devotional section and now I am working on a HUGE project for our Home Life section. I will be combining my recipe site with MOF. So soon MOF will have a large library of recipes, cooking tips, and food articles to help Christian Moms glorify Daddy in the Kitchen! I have completed the first of MANY recipe sections, Appetizer Recipes.

Please feel free to post ideas and suggestions for Moms of Faith. I am always open to new ideas and making Moms of Faith a place for ALL Christian Moms to come and learn, share, grow, and to become all that God created them to be!
