They call her blessed!

I am going to be honest yet again,  I have not been doing well with encouraging my husband. I have let the world and the enemy get the best of me. I have been selfish. I am trying to do better with encouraging my husband. On a good note though, I have been better towards my children, not that I haven't faltered in my parenting because I have. I have seen a house that is running much smoother because there is less yelling and less frustration. I am enjoying my children more due to the fact that I can let them, let loose and be goofy, as long as they aren't hurting themselves or breaking important house rules, I can just let them be kids. That is something God has laid on my heart, that I need to just let my kids be kids and let me enjoy them. I have listened and done it and it has helped my kids laugh more, and just enjoy life. I love my kids so much and I don't know why God entrusted me with them, and I thank him for them every single day.

They call her blessed, if someone looks back on my life one day I hope they can describe me as blessed. Wow to be called blessed would be amazing. I hope that in my life I can be the virtuous woman and become blessed. If I am having a relationship with God where I am blessed by him, and a blessing to others I will do it.

Proverbs 31:28-29

Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also and he praises her: "Many woman have done excellently, but you surpass them all."

I want to be a big enough blessing to my husband and children that I am called excellent. I don't have to be perfect because lets face it no one is perfect. I just have be virtuous. God has already blessed me so much in my life as being a mother, the greatest blessing I have ever had is being a parent. I cannot imagine my life without my 3 beautiful girls, or my amazing Husband. God truly blessed me when he placed all of them in my life, and I am doing this virtuous journey for them. Praise God for the opportunity for me to strive to be virtuous and for showing me what it means to be virtuous.

Prayer

Lord, help me to rise up to be the mother and wife you have made me to be. Help me to learn to be more virtuous each and every day, help me to know what it means to truly be blessed. Thank you for allowing me to have all these amazing blessings in my life, and Lord thank you for sharing in your word the attribute of a Virtuous Woman and for helping me to be that woman. AMEN.

On a side note Two more verses in Proverbs 31, before we are finished. I am thinking of moving on to Ester next.
