My wonderful wife!

God has poured incredible blessing on my life!  Aside from my salvation, the greatest blessing God has given me is the love of my wonderful wife, Eleanor!  Today, our home has seemed vacant as Eleanor is a bit under the weather.  As I was praying for her earlier, I was reminded of all God has done in my life by placing such an extraordinary woman at my side.  

As the kids and I attempt to go about our day, I am amazed at all my wife does.   We have been doing laundry, dishes, fixing breakfast, conducting the usual home school activities, lunch, piano practice, and yet I am certain we are leaving something behind and unfinished.  We are doing our best, but my best effort pale in comparison to my bride! On several occasions the kids have nodded their heads at me as if to say, "Dad is doing the best he can with what he's got... but he's not Mommy."  And they are correct in their assessment!  Eleanor is an awesome woman taken straight out of the verses of Proverbs 31.  I love you, Sweetie!  Get well soon!

Proverbs 31:10–31 (NIV84)  The Wife of Noble Character

¹⁰ A wife of noble character who can find?

She is worth far more than rubies.

¹¹ Her husband has full confidence in her

and lacks nothing of value.

¹² She brings him good, not harm,

all the days of her life.

¹³ She selects wool and flax

and works with eager hands.

¹⁴ She is like the merchant ships,

bringing her food from afar.

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.

²⁰ She opens her arms to the poor

and extends her hands to the needy.

²¹ When it snows, she has no fear for her household;

for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

²² She makes coverings for her bed;

she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

²³ Her husband is respected at the city gate,

where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

²⁴ She makes linen garments and sells them,

and supplies the merchants with sashes.

²⁵ She is clothed with strength and dignity;

she can laugh at the days to come.

²⁶ She speaks with wisdom,

and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

²⁷ She watches over the affairs of her household

and does not eat the bread of idleness.

²⁸ Her children arise and call her blessed;

her husband also, and he praises her:

²⁹ “Many women do noble things,

but you surpass them all.”

³⁰ Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;

but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

³¹ Give her the reward she has earned,

and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
