11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so
that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from
afar.
15 She riseth
also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to
her maidens.
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her
hands she planteth a vineyard.
17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is
good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she
reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her
household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the
elders of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it;
and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she
shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not
the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them
all.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise
her in the gates.

(Joyce’s Birthday)

What better can be
found
in Proverbs 31:11-31
read
describing this woman
today
seeking neither
praise aloud
doing Father’s will
always
thus maturing more
lovely
as quiet roses in
season
mighty oaks in
strength
rushing waters so
cooling
summer’s breath on
the day
found in precious
Joyce
each day of her life
to be
a woman of honor and
love
wherein rests a heart
full
as today we wish to
her
Happy Birthday on
this day!
