Proverbs 31:15-19

Proverbs 31
15 She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. 16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. 18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. 19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.



Well, I got up early today. Seems my oldest child, who usually is hard to get up even at 8 am decides that 5:45 am is a perfect time to get up. So, I got up and did some sweeping, mopping and cleaning. Now it is only 7:14 a.m., and I can sit, study, and blog. Working hard and working hard EARLY is something we all have a hard time with.....or at least most of us. :)

I have never been a morning person. I can say that I am a procrastinator, to say the least. This is something I really, really need to work on!

Lord, help me to work vigirously. Help me to be wise in the decisions I make financially for my family. Give me wisdom and energy to make our home an open place of ministry.

We don't want to have a home that is stuffy or a picture out of a magazine. We just want people to feel loved and supported when they come into our home.

Lord, this is your house, not ours. Help me to be a good steward of what you have "loaned" us to use. Help me to make others feel welcomed beyond measure here. :)

Amen
