She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
I have to admit, I'd love to see the Proverbs 31 woman behind the scenes. This verse, this passage, all makes it look like she makes everything run so smoothly. No crying toddler clinging to her leg. No worrying about stretching out the paycheck. No disagreements with her husband. No pile of clothes that need to be ironed. No trying to figure out how to get two children to activities on the opposite end of town at the same time. And I have to wonder, is this real? It's a wonderful standard to aspire to, but is it really possible?
All I know is that in our weakness, God is strong. He promises strength for the weary and rest for those who are heavy laden. When it's all too much, we can lean on Him and He will carry us through.
