Strength and honor are her clothing, and she can laugh at the time to come.
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and loving instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the activities of her household and is never idle.
Her sons rise up and call her blessed.
He husband also praises her:
Many women are capable, but you surpass them all!
Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.
~Proverbs 31:10, 25-30
This verse is for all my sisters. It made me thin of all of you this week. I will not lie, Monday was very trying day for me. The stress if sending both my babies to a new school about undid me. But through out the day starting bright and early the wonderful sisterhood of mothers I am friends with carried me. I had so many kind words, texts, hugs, messages and my phone never quit ringing. I'm praising each of you, and from the bottom of my heart thank you.
Who knew that having children would lead to having the most meaningful friendships? I thought that when Sweetness and I decided to have kids we would increase our family one child at a time, not by bushels and bunches. Motherhood has brought me to my knees on more than one occasion, but I always seem to find someone else down on her knees praying right there with me.
I am so thankful for each of you who felt the anxiety of the first day of school with me. I hate that you have gone through it, but thank you for guiding me. Thank you for sharing your experiences and a laugh with me. I talk with my Sweetness, I told him all about my fears but he just didn't "get it" like mothers do. This is why no matter how close I am with him I will always need my friends. Our hearts share the pain and triumph held in each day of our children's lives.
Thanks girls, you mean the world to me.
