Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
Proverbs 31:10-12
***I was NOT the woman described above in this picture taken 43 years ago. God had to do a LOT of transforming work in my life, and He still does!
