Thankful for Paula and Wade

Paula,(PRIVATE BLOG)

I’m thankful for you being a faithful blogger!  Since you are private, I don’t check as often as other blogs.  But, when I check, you always have an update!  Good work, my friend!

I love Wyatt’s long, blonde, curly locks!  What a stud!

I love that you have a giant “baby” too!  I can’t believe I have a tall baby!  I’m a shrimp and Luke isn’t tall, but Zac is 90th percentile for height! 

I am thankful for you posting about Wyatt’s love for his grandparents.  How cute!  I’m sure that make Grandma and Grandpa so happy!  Especially, with them being in a different state!

I’m so thankful for blogging (once again) so that family and friends that aren’t close by can see recent pics of your babe.  How awesome is that?!

I love that you keep track of Wyatt’s progress and update your blog as often as you do!  I need to update about Zac too!  SLACKER MOM!

I’m thankful for your posts of the new places/parks you have visited around your new home!  It looks beautiful there!

I’m thankful that we went to highschool together even though we weren’t the closest friends.  It’s fun to get to know you better through your cute blog.

I’m thankful that you post about being a working mom.  I had the biggest struggle the first 6 weeks of being a mom, thinking that I would have to go back to work.  It worked out at the last minute that I would be able to stay home.  I’m so thankful that moms are able to balance work and being a mom.  You are such a cute mom to Wyatt.  He is lucky to have you!  And I am thankful that you have been real and honest about the struggles of balancing both.  You are doing great!  I hope you know that!

I’m thankful for you being such a cute mom and doing lots of things with Wyatt and posting about them!  How fun for him that you take him out to do so many fun things!  Props to you, Paula!

Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character

^{10 [b]}A wife of noble character who can find?
   She is worth far more than rubies.
¹¹ Her husband has full confidence in her
   and lacks nothing of value.
¹² She brings him good, not harm,
   all the days of her life.
¹³ She selects wool and flax
   and works with eager hands.
¹⁴ She is like the merchant ships,
   bringing her food from afar.
¹⁵ She gets up while it is still night;
   she provides food for her family
   and portions for her female servants.
¹⁶ She considers a field and buys it;
   out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
¹⁷ She sets about her work vigorously;
   her arms are strong for her tasks.
¹⁸ She sees that her trading is profitable,
   and her lamp does not go out at night.
¹⁹ In her hand she holds the distaff
   and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
²⁰ She opens her arms to the poor
   and extends her hands to the needy.
²¹ When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
   for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
²² She makes coverings for her bed;
   she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
²³ Her husband is respected at the city gate,
   where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
²⁴ She makes linen garments and sells them,
   and supplies the merchants with sashes.
²⁵ She is clothed with strength and dignity;
   she can laugh at the days to come.
²⁶ She speaks with wisdom,
   and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
²⁷ She watches over the affairs of her household
   and does not eat the bread of idleness.
²⁸ Her children arise and call her blessed;
   her husband also, and he praises her:
²⁹ “Many women do noble things,
   but you surpass them all.”
³⁰ Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
   but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
³¹ Honor her for all that her hands have done,
   and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
