To be a wife of Noble Character

Can you imagine what life would be like if we women were all wives of noble character as set forth in Proverbs 31?  Our lives would be in order, our homes well appointed and welcoming to all, husbands well thought of, children well fed and clothed by the work of our hands, and husbands and children alike praise her...  Nothing about Proverbs 31 focuses on the what the woman gains-it speaks of what she does, the work of her hands, the decisions she makes, how she spends her time, the words spoken from her mouth, etc.;  yet she gains it all.  I am thankful to have the opportunity each day to strive to be a wife of noble character.  To bring good to my husband, my home, my family.  To fear the Lord and earn my reward and praise at the city gate.  Until we all feast at His heavenly banquet-Use your good dishes!  I'm sure the wife of noble character does!
