A wife of noble character - Part 2

Proverbs 31:16-20 (NIV)
"She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.
In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy."

Proverbs 31:16-20 (Kara's words)
She uses her resources wisely and free of selfish desires. (I must remind myself, "No, I don't need a new outfit today and yes, I'm surviving just fine without cable")
She is not lazy and accomplishes the tasks before her with enthusiasm. She prioritizes her time wisely.
She is head smart, but does not let it "go to her head". As a mother/wife, her job does not end, even though she is resting. What she does with her time always glorifies God.
She takes care of her family with love. It may not be actually making clothes (my family is grateful I don't do this), but keeping the home clean and welcoming, shopping with care, cooking with creativity and giving focused attention.
She has a servant heart. Her actions speak louder than her words.
