Proverbs 31:22 KJV says, “She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.”
This verse describes a wife who is industrious and skilled, and who takes care of her household's basic needs. (emphasis mine) *She furnishes her house well and has good clothing for herself and her family (Pro_31:22): She makes herself coverings of tapestry to hang her rooms, and she may be allowed to use them when they are of her own making. Her own clothing is rich and fine: it is silk and purple, according to her place and rank. Though she is not so vain as to spend much time in dressing herself, nor makes the putting on of apparel her adorning, nor values herself upon it, yet she has rich clothes and puts them on well. The senator’s robes which her husband wears are of her own spinning, and they look better and wear better than any that are bought. She also gets good warm clothing for her children, and her servants’ liveries. She needs not fear the cold of the most pinching winter, for she and her family are well provided with clothes, sufficient to keep out cold, which is the end chiefly to be aimed at in clothing: All her household are clothed in scarlet, strong cloth and fit for winter, and yet rich and making a good appearance. They are all double clothed (so some read it), have change of raiment, a winter suit and a summer suit. ~Matthew Henry 
Having a PlanHaving a Plan! Just a simple little 9 page booklet about having a daily plan for housework, and the motivation to get things moving.
Available for purchase on Amazon NOTE: I was basically testing the app to see what format I needed to publish a real book/kindle book. I don't understand a lot of the terms, and things about certain programs on Word, pdf, etc. 😅 But it turned out okay, for a first, I guess. Can't figure out how to delete it now. 🧐 If I had known it would actually load, and fit their format, I would have tried to make it more interesting. LOL 📖 🤓 But here it is anyway. . . I might as well post it here since I now have an author's page. LOL Spring CleaningSpring Clean with Me! Image by Rebekka D from Pixabay
"Her very soul is in the home, and in the discharge of all those quiet virtues of which home is the centre. Her husband will be to her what her father is now--the object of all her care, solicitude and affection. She will see nothing but by him, and through him. If he is a man of sense and virtue, she will sympathize in his sorrows, divert his fatigue, and share his pleasures."
—SIR WALTER SCOTT--Waverley. |
