Cherished Grandmother
An excellent wife and mother.
Her worth is far above jewels.
The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain.
She does him good and not evil all the days of her life.
She works with her hands in delight.
Strength and dignity are her clothing.
She looks well to the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children rise up and call her blesses.
Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord she shall be praised.
Give her the project of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates. Proverbs 31
