—Proverbs 31: 16-23

Hmmm, “the ideal wife”...that reminds me of a movie, The Stepford Wives. The wives in a remote town were beautiful on the outside. They stayed at home and cheerfully did housework, and were still able to meet their husbands at the door with a smile at the end of the day! How did they do it all? They were robots! I know I am FAR from the ideal wife, but I also don’t think that God or my husband would like me to be a robot.Sometimes when I read this passage, I feel like a failure, yet I think the intention was not to lay out an impossible standard, but to set things to strive for. None of us are perfect, but we can strive to be diligent, helpful, and a good steward of our time, talents and treasures.
