next Challenge and an Apology

"Now I must admit, i have been somewhat of a hypocrite, i have been giving out these challenges, but unless a situation presented itself i didn't remember to follow the challenge, please forgive me."

our next verse is as follows

"She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household is clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple."

the obvious is that she provides well for her family, and not just her family, but her household, servants, guests, ect.
she clothes herself beautifully, she does not ignore herself, even in all the caring she does for her household she still makes time to make herself presentable if not beautiful.

she is most likely modest ( as women would have been in those days) but her clothing is not a potatoe sack that hides her curves. it is instead the nicest that can be had. not Chanel or Gucci, necessarily but NICE if not fancy clothes.

Take time with it.

the raiment can also be taken in the spiritual form, a man dressed in purple is a Prince or in this case a princess. her soul belongs to the almighty and because of that she is a Princess of the Almighty's kingdom. take care in how you DRESS your soul.

Feeding the poor

She stretcheth her hand to the poor;yea,she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.


Very obvious! I think you ladies can decipher this verse on your own.

Do as it says. May the lord bless your endeavors.

in God Thea

for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;
naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink?
And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me.

I know you're all like
"okay were is thea?"

but you see i haven't been able to update because i've been so sos so busy! (notice the sos) You know how it is.

BUT... anyways here is the long awaited/belated challenge


She perceiveth that her merchandise is good:her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle and her hands hold the distaff.

so the first part of the verse, could be taken to mean, or have something to do with actual merchandise, But I can see it relating to something more precious, the woman herself.
I am sure that is not what was intended but it can be taken that way, that she herself is valuable, it says so at the very beginning "her worth is far above rubies."

second sentence
she works all night long, now i do not expect this from you. one could also say that it refers to a night light? children like to keep a night light. still i can't really make sense of this verse. Any help would be welcome.

third sentence
She spins wool, which leads to weaving/sewing i think it says later that she clothes her house in red and purple, she sews. So it's not like, not sewing makes you woth less than rubies, it just adds, and i can understand the burden of learning to sew, if your mother taught you when you were younger that it will not be as hard for you sewing clothes and such for your family. af course there's always *cough cough* SEARS(aka value village)

love you may the Lord bless you in tour endeavors to serve him better.
