Worth Rubies~Eager To Work

 

"She selects wool and flax, and works with eager hands."  Proverbs 31:13

 

I know that women no longer need to spin their own yarn or create their own linens.  Even still, we can still find meaning in this verse of Proverbs 31.

 

Years ago, women made their own clothing.  The Proverbs 31 woman would not only create her own clothing and that of her family, but she took great care to select the finest materials for the best price.  Many times to create clothing meant women spinning their own fabrics.  The Proverbs 31 woman was eager to do this work.  She was not lazy, but willingly helped her husband.

 

While many of us may not make our own clothing, we can still spend time working with eager hands.  We must be willing to work along side our husbands  for the good of our family.   We must be eager {excited!} to help out in whatever may come our way.

 

I admit that many times I am less than eager to do things to help out.  As we are in the process of updating our home, there is always something that needs to be done.  When hubby came to me recently asking for help on a project, I may have {ok, you know I did!} sighed and reluctantly gone to help.  This is not a woman who works with eager hands.  This verse will be especially helpful to me in the next few years months.

 

This week we can work on our attitudes while we work alongside our husbands.  This may look different in each household.  Some of us literally work alongside our husbands each day.  Others of us work alongside our husbands as we raise our families.  However it may look, lets willingly and eagerly work.  We can work with eager hands as we work on becoming that Proverbs 31 woman.
