How do you handle your something of value?

This past weekend (Mother's Day) sent me back to the Bible. I mentor a group of young ladies and wow!! I realized I have to step up my game. These young women are bright, talented, smart, beautiful, and they seem very sure of themselves.  To see them walk with humph, to hear them talk with snap... they hypnotize me.  It is when I start to listen... it occurs to me, they have so much to learn... about  life, about being a woman.  The question is whether I have anything to offer.

So I went back to the Bible and I was amazed at what I found. Proverbs 31 - Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is worth far more than rubies. 

Rubies are valuable ladies. They are said to be the most powerful gem in the universe.  And you my dears, are worth far more. 


Sometimes when I look on, I wonder whether my lovely ladies know they are worth so much more.  So much more.

Proverbs 31 also tells us how she thinks and acts as a wife, a mother, and a woman.

She fears God.  She is an entrepreneur - and a successful businesswoman. This woman is kind and thoughtful, stylish and elegant, and not likely to be seen in clothing unbefitting a lady. 

Because of the way she carries herself, her husband has favor and is highly respected.  She is strong.  She is honorable. She is not idle, but rather she works hard.  She is kind to her employees and the people in her household.  She is wise and intelligent.  She is gentle and kind.  She is creative, confident, and resourceful, and her children hold her in high regard.  Her husband also thinks the world of her... as he should. Did I say she is strong? Yes, and she looks good. 

I wish my lovely young ladies would remember the value of their worth.  I want you to live like you know the value of your worth. 

So tell me, how do you handle your something of value?
