A Good Mother According To The Bible




Proverbs 14:1
The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down. (NIV)
Proverbs 18:22
He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD. (NASB)
Proverbs 31:10-12 and 25-31

A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
"Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

  2. drk says-

    and sometimes she must make dinner on an oven that doesn't even work right. and it helps to have magic fingers for back scratching. what a high ideal toward which to strive. some find being a wife is too complicated and prefer the single life, but most people feel it is worth the effort.
