Clip Art Image: Rising while it is still dark, she provides food for the family (from Proverbs 31)

 

Ok, so the image above may be a little beyond where many good wives are able to go.  Rising up early is one thing, but being fully dressed, and ready to go before getting a hearty breakfast for everyone may be more than even an excellent wife will do.

On the other hand, many a good wife is up and ready to go long before the sun rises (especially in winter).  They get up and get their make-up on, their best clothes on, and are out the door to face the office workload.  Not to mention morning traffic.

To read what God's Word has to say, read Proverbs 31.  Granted, some things change with different cultures.  But the meaning never changes.  A good wife is hard to find (as is a good husband).  And yet she is a vital part of any truly successful household.

She cares for the husband and children, tends to business and provides good meals and an atmosphere for the home where the whole family can thrive together. 

Don't be discouraged if you believe this is impossible.  Maybe you must work outside the home.  Maybe your husband fails to do his part (or has failed to even remain with the family).  God does not look for ways to judge anyone.  The purpose of the Scriptures is to give us wise counsel and clear direction.

To the extent that it is possible for you to provide a good home for your little ones, do that.  To the extent that you are able to provide good meals and a place for growing and learning together, do that.  Be involved with your children and the future you are building together.  Help to make good things happen for your family.
