Today I am celebrating the one year anniversary of my Gramma Lackie joining Jesus in heaven.
A Wife of Noble Character
10 Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
She is more precious than rubies.
11 Her husband can trust her,
and she will greatly enrich his life.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She finds wool and flax
and busily spins it.
14 She is like a merchant’s ship,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household
and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.
with her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She is energetic and strong,
a hard worker.
18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable;
her lamp burns late into the night.
19 Her hands are busy spinning thread,
her fingers twisting fiber.
20 She extends a helping hand to the poor
and opens her arms to the needy.
21 She has no fear of winter for her household,
for everyone has warm[c] clothes.
22 She makes her own bedspreads.
She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns.
23 Her husband is well known at the city gates,
24 She makes belted linen garments
and sashes to sell to the merchants.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity,
and she laughs without fear of the future.
26 When she speaks, her words are wise,
and she gives instructions with kindness.
27 She carefully watches everything in her household
and suffers nothing from laziness.
28 Her children stand and bless her.
Her husband praises her:
29 “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world,
but you surpass them all!”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.
Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.
Sunflower Promises
I missed you yesterday
I miss you today
I'll miss you tomorrow
But the hope of heaven
keeps the joys of His promise
resting throughout my days
as you glimpse down upon
every smile and tear
in each new adventure
and old tradition
through the lessons
of love that you taught unknowingly
will be carried to the end
where we embrace at his throne
and you grab my hand and say once more
“I’ll always be with you.”
Amanda, this is beautiful and so from the heart of God and Grandma. Thank you for posting and sharing as this was such a tribute and celebration of her Heaven Birthday. I Love You and I know the heavens are rejoicing with her and celebrating her birthday as well.
