More precious than rubies. (Proverbs 31:10-12, 25-31 )

Proverbs 31:10-12, 25-31

New Living Translation (NLT)

A Wife of Noble Character

¹⁰ Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
    She is more precious than rubies.
¹¹ Her husband can trust her,
    and she will greatly enrich his life.
¹² She brings him good, not harm,
    all the days of her life.

...

²⁵ She is clothed with strength and dignity,
    and she laughs without fear of the future.
²⁶ When she speaks, her words are wise,
    and she gives instructions with kindness.
²⁷ She carefully watches everything in her household
    and suffers nothing from laziness.

²⁸ Her children stand and bless her.
    Her husband praises her:
²⁹ “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world,
    but you surpass them all!”

³⁰ Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
    but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.
³¹ Reward her for all she has done.
    Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.


(Normally I post a verse like this around our wedding anniversary, but I felt today is appropriate.)


This verse in proverbs describes my wife.


My thoughts were on my wife Pat today. As I was juggling my duties at my job, I kept thinking about all that my wife does for me. Sometimes I take her for granted, I am sorry for that.

Men, thank your wife for putting up with you.
