"Her Children Rise Up, and Call Her Blessed"

The sweetness of my life is never more evident as proof of my recent Valentine's Day. Many days I wonder if my efforts make a difference in the lives of my children. I worry that I am spending my time in areas that will show little difference in the future. Yesterday, those worries were dissipated for the moment with the sweetness of my oldest son and amazing husband. Upon stumbling into the kitchen at an early 5 o'clock hour, I was surprised by a sweet display of homemade paper heart confetti and a very sincere thank you note from Nick. Later, I went up to my desk to find a huge vase of 30 homemade hearts, each listing all the things Marc loves about me...one for every day of the month. The following scripture ran through my mind throughout the day: "Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her." Proverbs 31:28

As I looked up the scripture, I realize there is much to be perfected in my attitudes and actions with the whole charter of Proverb 31:10-30 that I plan to study, post and ponder.
