Eyes In The Back Of Her Head

Did your mom have eyes in the back of her head? Did she know what was going on even if she did not see it? The excellent wife is like that. She watches over her household. She knows what is happening in it. She knows that the dishwasher needs to be emptied and that the laundry needs to be sorted. Her work is never done. Though it may sound exhausting, and she may be exhausted, she does it willingly. She is not just keeping herself busy, she is taking care of her household. She doesn't want anything to fall through the cracks lest any under her care suffer. She is willing to put the needs of others before her own needs. She does it not out of empty obedience or in fear of the tyranny of the urgent. She does it out of love.

She Is Pleased To Work With Her Hands


This excellent wife that Proverbs 31 is talking about is a worker. She doesn't just sit around all day long. She's not wasting away her entire day sipping coffee at Starbucks with her friends. She's not lounging by the pool. No, she is getting things done not because she has to but because she wants to. She can't let her hands be idle. Maybe it's just housework and chores. Maybe it's a hobby that she works at. Or maybe she has a job that helps pay the bills. Regardless of what it is, she keeps busy and it brings her pleasure. What do you do?
