A TRULY GOOD MOM (WIFE)

Proverbs has a lot to say about women. How fitting that the book ends with a
picture of one who “excellest them all. She is a woman of strong character,
great wisdom, many skills, and great compassion. This woman is an excellent
wife and mother.

Recently it was stated in our mass media that the price of such a woman in our
world today is $138.000 a year. Men if we had to pay that I would lose my
lovely wife. This woman is a manufacturer, importer, manager, realtor, farmer,
seamstress, upholsterer, and merchant. Her strength and dignity do not come
from her amazing achievements. They are a result of her reverence for God.

Today, where physical appearance counts for so much, it may surprise you that
her appearance isn’t mentioned. Her attractiveness comes entirely from her
character. Your days are not long enough to do everything she does. See her as
an inspiration to be all you can be as a precious mother.

Give honor and praise to your mom this Mother’s Day week. If your mom is no
longer with you adopt a mom in your life and do something special for her. I
thank the Lord everyday I still have my precious God fearing, praying, lovely
mother. My wife was blessed with a wonderful mother that was my buddy for
many years before leaving us for Glory. I love you Lois Viola Dasher, and I miss
you Christine Rominger.

In closing let us take a moment in God’s word and read about a truly good mom and wife.

Proverbs 31:10-31
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. 11 The
heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need
of spoil. 12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. 13
She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. 14 She is
like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. 15 She riseth also
while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her
maidens. 16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her
hands she planteth a vineyard. 17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and
strengtheneth her arms. 18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her
candle goeth not out by night. 19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her
hands hold the distaff. 20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she
reacheth forth her hands to the needy. 21 She is not afraid of the snow for
her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. 22 She maketh
herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. 23 Her husband
is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. 24 She
maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to
come. 26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of
kindness. 27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the
bread of idleness. 28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband
also, and he praiseth her. 29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou
excellest them all. 30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that
feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. 31Give her of the fruit of her hands;
and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Celebrate God’s love bestowed on you with a special mom this week.

1John 1: 9 “If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our
sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
