Saturday Sisters: The Proverbs 31 Woman

   i think everyone gets tired when reading about the Proverbs 31 Woman.  She's everywhere, doing everything, and she does it perfectly.
  But
does she do it all right now?
  The scrapbook page is from a weekend ladies' retreat our church had back in '06.
  The quotes on the page are from my notes of the talks by a lady named Darla Gowan.  One that i couldn't get to scan (12x12 page, standard scanner) asserts that the passage refers to an older woman, looking back over her life.

  In other words, this perfect bit was the overarching course of years, not every single day. 
  Did she get everything right, all the time?  Likely not; real people don't.  Even for someone with a humongous work ethic, there are not enough hours in a day.  But overall she took care of her family, her employees/servants, and herself; her husband could trust her completely and the entire community admired her. 

  She was strong; she was loved and loving; she was joyous; she got the job done.

  She is a worthy example to emulate.
