This morning I was reading Proverbs 31 about the virtuous woman. Today when I read it something caught my eye and challenged me to a new way of thinking. Always before I marveled at this genuinely good woman and made up my mind to imitate her. I read about her husband but I was always so busy pondering her goodness that I never gave him full thought. Today I stopped and thought in depth about what verse 23 says:

**Proper
1 a: referring to one individual only b: belonging to one : own c: appointed for the liturgy of a particular day d: represented heraldically in natural color
2: belonging characteristically to a species or individual : peculiar
3chiefly dialect : good-looking, handsome
4: very good : excellent
5chiefly British : utter, absolute
6: strictly limited to a specified thing, place, or idea proper>
7 a: strictly accurate : correct barchaic : virtuous, respectable c: strictly decorous : genteel
8: marked by suitability, rightness, or appropriateness : fit

Have you ever really thought about how greatly loved we are? Think about it. The Great Creator of all things sent the only son He had to this dark earth to save us. Who are we? Dusty little disrespectful children who think we know the best way to go. Who is He? A Father who greatly loves us. When I think about it I tremble and the tears come because it's an overwhelming thought to be loved so much. Thank you Heavenly Father, thank you Jesus. Help me to love.

You are precious

and greatly loved!

I know he thinks it's strange

that I will not give up on him

 that I will not hurt him

--there's no calling names,

 saying hateful words

 or accusing him.

I know he thinks it's weird

that I keep believing in him

believing that he will do great things.

 I know he thinks it's odd

 that I only think the best of him

--no matter what!

 I know he thinks it's unbelievable

 that I believe that he is more then what he thinks of himself

and that I love him still!

     "There is a generation that curses its father,
      And does not bless its mother. 
      There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,
      Yet is not washed from its filthiness. 
      There is a generation—oh, how lofty are their eyes!
      And their eyelids are lifted up. 
      There is a generation whose teeth are like swords,
      And whose fangs are like knives,
      To devour the poor from off the earth,
      And the needy from among men."

I don't think I'm better than you

I don't think my boots are shinier

I don't think the moon is hung

only over my head

I don't think my spoons are silver

I don't think my cage is golden

I don't think my blood is bluer

than yours

I don't worry about where you came from

rest your mind there is no test

I love you

for who you are

without question

the best!
