Ladies, we are the heart of our home. We are the thermostat. We set the tone and the energy. Face it, when “Mama ain’t happy ain’t nobody happy!” Isn’t that the truth? So when I camped on this verse from Proverbs 31:11 I had to resort to the commentaries.  “The heart of her husband does safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil”. I have included two links below: Ellicott’s Commentary for English Readers This writer states that the man trusts his wife with his income. Knowing that she won’t spend it all frivolously and lead them the poor house. Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary This is a much wider view of the verse.

As a woman I love jewels. Especially the bright candy-colored one.  A woman labeled and considered worth more than rubies catches my attention too. Who is this woman? She is someone her husband has confidence in. She brings him only good. She knows how to find a good deal when out shopping. And she knows how to make things from material at home so that she is saving money. She is not lazy and she keeps her home nice and neat and provides good nutritious meals for her family. It seems that she is also an entrepreneur, as she buys and sales things and earns a modest income in order to clothe her family in finery.   She seems to be a modern-day woman except that she was born closer to 3000 years ago. I do not think that she could survive in the world we live today. We live such fast-paced lives, plugged…
