Walking In The Love Of The Lord; Casting All My Cares On Him! |
Unforgettable, Beautiful and An Excellent Wife A mother, in Proverbs 31, admonishes her son to find for himself the "Excellent Wife." Mom, of course, takes all of the guess work out of who she she is considering for her son. She itemizes all of the traits an "Excellent Wife" must possess, and one may wonder what kind of a miracle is this extraordinary person! But of all the "Excellent Wife's" cherished characteristics, this, in my experience, is the most vital for a peaceful, prosperous, life: Proverbs 31:30 "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised." Proverbs 31:10 -14 An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. 11 The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. 12 She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. 13 She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. 14 She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar.” My precious wife J, is truly a gift from God. J is the "Excellent Wife" of Proverbs 31. She could have prodded and pushed me to come up to her standards for being the "perfect husband." Instead she served me, loved me, and sowed words of kindness and encouragement until God helped me become the priest and king of our household. J has been my greatest, most faithful friend, and I truly would not be whom I am today if not for her prayers and steadfast love. It was this week 48 years ago at a celebration of her twenty-first birthday, that I fell in love with J and committed my heart and life to her. Like all love stories ours is filled with both joys and sorrows. But today, we celebrate an Old Year Passing and a New Year Beginning more in love now than ever before! ~Kenword~ ♫~ Kenword~♫ (101@100513)_(101x2@030614)__________ (YCM_@122313) (Recognition 300 11.29.22) {/b} |
