That is lovely, Debi. Women have an important role, whick many countries fail to see. We are the ones that teach our children the right and wrong in life, and the true meaning of Christmas and Easter. We call on God to help us do our best for our family, and always we must put God our Father first. This is a lovely poem for the Club Event. Well done, my friend. Love and hugs, Sandra xx

Hi Sandra, I appreciate your very kind comments for my Proverbs poem. I believe that the young women of today would benefit from hearing what it is God wants from us. There is a saying that I read once that says, "If we don't teach our children to love God, the world will teach them not to." What a sad thought. Thanks again, my dear friend. Debi

This is an excellent spin-off from Proverbs 31. I loved the lines "There's nothing more rewarding than the feeling that you've done What's righteous and approved of by the Father and the Son."

The proverbs 31 woman is the godly, sacrificial and after God she puts her husband and children before her own, but the man's role is just as righteous, hen loves his wife as Christ loved the church and gave His life for,her, beautifully written Debi, blessings Roy

Thank you for sharing this club event submission with us. Yes, it's hard sometimes to be all the woman God wants us to be, but...the good news is He's there to help and guide us. We just need to allow Him to do it. I enjoyed reading.

The blessing of the Lord is that he is loving and patient with us. Your deeply spiritual poem is so moving!

When we stumble, as we all do, His glorious hand is the first to set us back on our feet and encourage our spiritual growth.

What a beautiful poem to post on this Sunday!

Grace and Faith abound, through your words!

This is a beautiful, prayerful reflection of what we are called to do as women and believers. God has designed us to care for others, but also ourselves. Part of that caring is making sure we spend time in the presence of the Lord and ask His Light to guide us. This is a wonderful poem.

Hi Ginda, I thank you so very much for your kind review and comments.

I also wanted to ask you if you would like me to do a poem for you for your birhday?

There are so many verses that we could write about. Just knowing our God/Jesus is a wonderful experience. Reading His words is very important. So enjoyed reading your poem.

My dearest Rosemary,
I thank you so much. It does seem those posts that tell about our God and Jesus are the easiest to write as we seem to get divine help. I appreciate so much your kind words and your gracious six stars. Thanks from the bottom from the bottom of my heart. God Bless, my sweet friend.

Hi Debi,
This poem ends with the way we should all live and write. I like the idea the each day is a new start to be close to God. We do need to think of God and others. But, we also need to think of ourselves. If we don't take care of ourselves than we can't help others.
Keep writing and stay healthly
Have a great day.
Joan

You're welcome, Debi. I can see how that saying could be true, and it is sad.
