Strength and dignity are her clothing;
I wanna be all that and more. I want to bear fruit, I want to give even more. Give and give till there's nothing left of me... and that's the wonderful paradox. When you have given... and given... then you will find yourself richer and richer. The law of God surpasses the law of the world.
She laughs at the time to come.
She opens her tongue with wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
She looks well to the ways of her household
And does not eat the bread of idleness
...
"Many women have done excellently,
But you surpass them all."
Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised
Give her the fruit of her hands,
Let her works praise her in the gates.
Proverbs 31:25-27, 29-31 (ESV)
