by Gina L. from Virtuous Daughters, April/May 2017~Volume 17, Number 1 "Panning for Gold" Proverbs 31 Study Series Part 13 ~Proverbs 31:22~ Even now as I think back to my childhood, I can remember the wonder of decorating my room in a special and beautiful way. When I was in elementary school, I had a pretty canopy bed with a pink and white checkered bedspread and matching canopy top. It was dainty and wondrous, and I enjoyed it. When I was a little older, my mom bought me a comforter that was bright white with a rainbow that started on the foot of the bed and made an arch across the two pillow cases. My mom even painted an old dresser bright white and painted each drawer face a matching color of the rainbow. What a joy the rainbow of colors was. It always amazes me how a bed covering can change a room. The Virtuous Woman knew this and made herself delightful coverings of tapestry. What beauty to behold these hand-woven masterpieces, bringing cheer and delight to all. Even amidst all her practical skills, the Virtuous Woman found time to produce and enjoy purposeful art.
In Proverbs 31:22, the Virtuous Woman is seen making herself coverings of tapestry, and her clothing is silk and purple. We find in this woman a rare blend of characteristics. While she takes care of the poor, her own household’s clothing and food, a textile business, a vineyard, her husband, and many other endeavors, she also makes time to take care of herself and her home, creating original masterpieces and appearing to value artistic beauty. What wonders her silk and purple clothing must hold! We will discover many beauty secrets on this journey into the outward apparel and core beauty of the Virtuous Woman. by Kaitlyn R. from Virtuous Daughters, June 2017~Volume 17, Number 2 We are faced with choices every day. From choosing what to wear in the morning or how to spend our free time, to how to handle a difficult situation at work or what to say to someone who is hurting. Cultivating relationships with the people God has placed in our lives is a choice. Just like you can’t have a healthy tree without tending it, you can’t expect to have good relationships without putting effort into them.

Heavy the cross He bore, Piercing the nails that tore, Yet greater, His love. by Tiffany S. from Virtuous Daughters, April/May 2017~Volume 17, Number 1
