a virtuous woman...

Proverbs 31:10-31
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

I was thinkin of re-writting this to express wat I was thinkin but as I read and re-read I felt I cant do anythin much but just copy and paste it here.

Its mother's day today and I reli thank God for my mom who over the years has stood by us boys for as long as we've been here on earth. Reli being a mom aint easy especially when you've got 4 rowdy and naughty boys to look after and as I've grown up I thank God and I pray tat I dont be the the heaviness of my mom according to proverbs10:1... I think i'm in the process of reli being true to my parents and am waitin for the day whr i will be able to let them see all of me well maybe they do see all of me but waitin for me to say it frm mysef. Coz who best to hv buddies than ur parents aye? NOt sayin i'm a mama's boy or wat but reli hv u ever thought u can just hang with ur parents and discuss everythin under the sun and reli mean everything? BUt its a prayer tat I can see workin slowly in my life. And I love my mom. I remember when I was young I used to go up to her and say I love you mama. Almost everytime I found the opportunity. And one time she said dun just say you love me, show it. And i guess its somethin tat i've held on to for sometime. Anyway mother's day is not a one day celebration for mothers. We ought to cherish em daily. As long as they are still here with us. And I thank God for opportunities like last nite and today on the bus ride to grow closer to them... This is for ya ma!

I know words alone aren't enough

To express the gratitude you deserve

Tat when I was young I could never

Appreciate you for all you've done

How you woke me up every morning

Till I was twenty, just to get me to school

And one time you even dragged me

And that was so uncool

But then as I began to watch you

And began to love the Lord

I could never thank you enough

For all that you've done for me

Even if I began to list it

I bet the list would never end

For what more can a mother give

As much as you've given me

I pray that I be your joy than sorrow

I could never have asked for a greater mom

Even if you're flawed

You'll always be the person who stood by me

And if your days grow dim

I know I'll be by your side

And show you the love you've taught me

So I may shower it back to you and the ppl ard me....

On another perspective, another reason I was pondering upon this chapter was who can find a woman as described in this chapter? Where can I find one? Wells dun get me wrong, I'm more or less resolved on the fact that the Lord will lead her one day but its interestin tat God has already given guidelines on how to find a woman. Wells not sayin for gals u dun hv a guideline probably the best guideline is how much like christ is the guy ur after? Anyway its guidelines and you decide how u wanna apply em. But yea i'm already lost on wat to say hahas.... but yea i enjoyed my day today... i wish i could say wats in me i had a glimpse of wat to say. oh wells...

But yea i found an acronym tat are reli interestin for us singles today...

NRGSEF=Non-romantic Godly spiritually edifying friendships/relationships

I think I'll stick to this tilll the virtuos woman comes knockin in my life hahas....when will dat day come? I hv no idea but till then I've gotta prepare myself for tat day because I'm not tat perfect man and I still hv a lot of flaws to work out. hahas... its just part and parcel of this long journey of life....
