A wife of noble character - Part 3

Proverbs 31:21-25 (NIV)
"When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come."

Proverbs 31:21-25 (Me again)
Anxiety does not consume her. She rests in God's peace, which surpasses all understanding. She lives confident and thankful in her salvation through Jesus Christ.
She keeps her home a sanctuary for her family to call home. She takes care of herself too. (She even gets dressed for her family, instead of staying in her pajamas all day, which might be easier some days)
She is proud of her husband and respects him as the leader of their home. She supports his career and prays for him diligently. Others can see her love for him.
She helps support her family financially as the Lord provides opportunities. She remains wise and generous with all she earns, as it is the Lord's first of all.
Life was never promised to be easy and she lives one day at time, dying daily to her self, and with God's strength and grace. She is full of joy and keeps a sense of humor, for no matter what life may bring, she is His.
