A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
When I think of being a wife of noble character, I think of Colossians 3 -
Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, with binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts...And be thankful. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
My two grandmothers were very different in interests and personalities, but both embodied these verses. They sought God daily and strived to live their lives for Him only. Their homes were filled with His love and reminders of His goodness. They set beautiful examples of how to be a Proverbs 31 woman. They were, indeed, worth far more than rubies.
