Proverbs 31:13



 Proverbs 31:13 She seeks wool and flax,
and works with willing hands.


Wool and flax? Being a crunchy mama I can appreciate searching out wool and flax. But in today's modern society you're likely wondering, “What?”. Simply put, Woman 31, has gone out and gotten what she needs to get her house in order. She's acquired and crafted what she needs for her home. 

How can I apply THAT to my life? Do I work willingly to have my house tidy and comfortable for the family and/or friends that I am thankful to have? Is my home peaceful and calming or stressful and echoing discord? GOD has put us where we are with the people/friends/family we have. I'll admit, that word “willingly” can sometimes get lost in the day to day - who willingly scrubs the toilets, scrapes burned on cheese off dishes, and bathes the dog who rolled in something that died last week? 

 Willingness, it's the part that we have to choose, the part that's truly a heart decision and sometimes is harder than the actual physical task at hand. Let's pray for the strength to choose the willing attitude as we work to keep our homes in order.
