immensely and was the perfect example of a Proverbs 31 woman.
"She opens her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She
looks well to the ways of her household and eats not the bread of idleness. Her children
arise up, and he praises her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excel them
all. Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that fears the LORD, she shall
be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the
gates."
