For her price is far above rubies...
Do you ever feel virtuous? Sometimes I do. And I have been lately so I thought I'd tell you what makes me feel virtuous. Why don't you leave a comment and tell me when you do.
1. I love unpacking groceries from Costco and filling my shelves up. I see all that food and I feel such abundance and so blessed and virtuous.
2. I feel virtuous when I organize something and it looks good. Like when the bookshelves are clean and organized and all the books fit and are lined up just so.
3. My best though comes from getting rid of stuff. I LOVE stuff. I hang onto it for dear life and I crowd my life with stuff and then I have these breakthrough moments when I realize how all that stuff is destroying my life, by cluttering my surroundings it is choking my soul, and then I can begin to let it go. Once I start I'm like a woman possessed, it's fun, it's productive, it's exhilarating, it is then that I absolutely delight in throwing stuff away and my heart sings when I fill the boxes for the thrift store! I don't know why it makes me feel like a virtuous woman but it does.
I've been thinking of that amazing woman in Proverbs 31 and I've learned one thing about her, the chapter is written like a day but it's really about her life. Whew--that's a relief!

Okay... I was nervous to read your post when you said you were "virtuous". I thought "what is Ann tooting her horn about?" I loved what you wrote. I guess I feel virtuous when I fold each load of laundry as it comes out of the dryer. Maybe that sounds strange, but I know how I feel when I am greeted by a mountain clean laundry that I neglected to take care of.
There are a few things that jumped out at me that really has helped me feel like a "virtuous" woman. First would be being a good listener and not judging a situation or a person and just listen. (I guess that really is two things there)Also being able to forgive people who have really hurt me. Another would be listening to music. It really can set my mood and feelings. And one other thing I thought of was being able to make Healthy food that is a treat to the taste buds as well:)!
