Mother-Daughter (and Grandma too!) Bracelets

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.
 Sophia Loren quotes

The Woman

These Bible verse gave me more encouragement and inspiration on being a WAHM (work-at-home-mom) and widow. A better understanding of what a woman and mother is. Hope this also encourages you. Have a blessed weekend!

Proverbs 31

The Woman Who Fears the Lord

10 An excellent wife who can find?

She is far more precious than jewels.

11The heart of her husband trusts in her,

and he will have no lack of gain.

12She does him good, and not harm,

all the days of her life.

13She seeks wool and flax,

and works with willing hands.

14She is like the ships of the merchant;

she brings her food from afar.

15She rises while it is yet night

and provides food for her household

and portions for her maidens.

16She considers a field and buys it;

with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.

17She dresses herself with strength

and makes her arms strong.

18She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.

Her lamp does not go out at night.

19She puts her hands to the distaff,

and her hands hold the spindle.

20She opens her hand to the poor

and reaches out her hands to the needy.

21She is not afraid of snow for her household,

for all her household are clothed in scarlet.

22She makes bed coverings for herself;

her clothing is fine linen and purple.

23Her husband is known in the gates

when he sits among the elders of the land.

24She 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.

26She opens her mouth with wisdom,

and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

27She looks well to the ways of her household

and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28Her 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.

31Give her of the fruit of her hands,

and let her works praise her in the gates.

Sick Mom

It's already mid October and it's only my first post. Mom has been confined in a hospital. She's more than 70 years old and the whole household gets so confused and panicky during times like these. She spent three days in the hospital, and she's better now. Taking all the bed rest she can get. Having her meals on bed, sleeping, and, - this she enjoys so much - playing quiz games on the tablet. We have been teaching her, since she retired from teaching, how to use the computer and internet, since she enjoys reading books so much and watching movies. But she finds it difficult to control the mouse. Maybe she is a pianist, I don't really know. Thank God for the inventor of touch screens, she can now start to know Mr. Google and the whole World Wide Web.
