Here is what the Bible says:
Proverbs 31:10-31
(10) An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.
(11) The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain.
(12) She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.
(13) She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands.
(14) She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar.
(15) She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens.
(16) She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
(17) She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong.
(18) She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night.
(19) She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
(20) She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy.
(21) She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet.
(22) She makes bed coverings for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple.
(23) Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land.
(24) She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant.
(25) Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.
(26) She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
(27) She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
(28) Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
(29) "Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all."
(30) Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
(31) Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.

Your mom was a business woman before married. Even now and then, she is.
I could not afford to take a home maid for her, so your mom does all the home making by herself.
Your mom has a kind and considerate heart to help people.
She always put us and other first than her own.
Your mom almost never show temper or complain.
If so, it is because my inconsiderate and un-discipline has exceed her limit of patience.
Your mom wake up early in the morning to prepare our breakfast.
And routine of the day does not weary her.
Remember that, son.
When your mom is at old age, and you begin to think she is just a weak old lady, please read Proverbs 31: 10-31, and you will be grateful and thankful to God, that your mom is a Miss Proverbs 31.
Oh hohoho..
ReplyDeleteFidel..., your dad quitely rewards me in his blog. Looks like I must work harder to be a good and better wife and mother from now on.
I think I still need to learn and pray more that God will give me strength and mould me to be a Miss Proverbs31.
My dear hubby, thank you for the award.
Luv U.
