“Her children arise and call her blessed” [Proverbs 31:28(NIV)]

“Her children arise and call her blessed”. We must be grateful for this epilogue in the Book of Proverbs that gives us the characteristics of a godly wife. It is worth reading in full. Here are some important points:
Skilful with her hands, she gets up while yet dark to prepare the day’s food.
She has a business head and knows the price of things and is careful not to trade at a loss.
She is on call at night when needed.
She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.
She embroiders coverings and is clothed in fine linen.
She is clothed with strength and dignity.
She can laugh, can speak with wisdom and her instruction is invaluable.
No wonder the writer says she is worth far more than rubies and her children arise and call her blessed.
