Grace Notes

Hey y’all!   Today in the Women of the Bible series we’re talking about the Proverbs 31 woman.   I have always loved Proverbs 31 and have admired this example for years.   Of course, Proverbs 31 isn’t necessarily describing a specific woman.   Proverbs 31:1 tells us, “The words of king Lemuel, the prophect that his mother taught him.”   King Lemuel’s mother was instructing her son in this passage.

As Christians – imperfect people saved by a perfect God – I think we all go through phases where we struggle to spend adequate time with the Lord.   There are many excuses for this downfall in a believer’s life, ranging from “I can’t find the time,” to a heart-problem of “I don’t need the Lord’s help,” to a simple, “I try to read the Bible and pray, but everything seems so dry!”   Whatever the reason, I’m sure you’ve experienced some sort of spiritual apathy in your life at one point or another.

As you are all well aware of (I’m sure), tomorrow is Mother’s Day.   And I will also assume that you have planned accordingly. ;)   Because this weekend is all about honoring our mothers, I wanted to just take a moment to brag on MY amazing mother.   I think you all should feel extremely honored to meet THE very best mother in the world in this post.   Because truly she is. :)
