Proverbs 30&31

Proverb 30:8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
   Most of this verse is very appropriate for me and my family at this time. We are in the process of condensing the things in our home. I'm trying to weed out the junk and the things we can live without. This verse will help me remember why I am doing it, and give me the strength to do it.

The Virtuous Woman
31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
:11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
:12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
:13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
:14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
:15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
:16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
:17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
:18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
:19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
:20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
:21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
:22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
:23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
:24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
:25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
:26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
:27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
:28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
:29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
:30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
   I think every woman should read these verses at least once a month, and I would even recomend  every day!
   I, myself, am still studying these verses. Since Proverbs is one of the books I'll be reading again, this year, I'll post my thoughts at the end of the year. I'm sorry, I'm not doing it now, but I'm just not prepared, at this time, to put my thoughts out there for all the world to see. LOL If any of you have thoughts, Please comment! I'd LOVE to hear what others think of these verses.

The next chapters are 2 Kings 11-15.
