Proverbs 14:1 Every wise woman builds her house: but the foolish plucks it down with her hands.
1 Corinthians 7:34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
Proverbs 12:4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that makes ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
1 Peter 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Thank you. I spent all day long trying to figure out what I wanted to do with this week’s FMF. This was a hard one for me, for some reason. But in the end, I simply–and briefly–shared a few of the lessons the Lord has been teaching me.
