Proverbs 31:20

"She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy."

This woman, not only maintains her household and her family, but she is welcoming to the those that are in need.  With today's crazy schedule, who has time to take care of those that are less fortunate? The Proverbs 31 woman does!  She is our example.  When we give to the needy, our husband, children, and friends see our example.  It is important that we understand the blessings that God has given us.  God doesn't want us to be hoarders with all that He has given us.  The purpose for those blessings is for us share, give, and be examples of God's love.

Things to think about:

- How can you extend yourself to others that need help?
- How can you show God's love through your giving?
- What examples can you share with your children about the importance of giving?

Proverbs 31:13

“She seeks out wool and flax and works with willing hands.” Proverbs 31:13

 

The Proverbs woman keeps busy.  All that she does is for her family and she does it enthusiastically.  These tasks are her ministry.  Her work is not drudgery and she does not complain.  She knows that her skill and creativity is not done in vain.  All her efforts and hard work is for family.  She knows that God smiles upon her as she does her work without complaining.

Things to think about:

- When you are in the middle of doing your chores, do you think about how much you are honoring God and your family?

Take inventory on yourself and ask these questions. Think about ways you can change your attitude when doing chores and daily housework.
