Pro 31:30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman
that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
Pro 31:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

My wife is such a woman, she fears the LORD and honors him. The fruit of
her hands: hundreds of crocheted afghans and many lap quilts she has made with
her hands and most were given away anonymously.
Act 9:36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by
interpretation is called Dorcas: (Gazelle) this woman was full of good works and
almsdeeds which she did.
Act 9:37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
Act 9:38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
Act 9:39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
Act 9:40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Act 9:41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
Act 9:42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.

My wife has been through a lot of trials. Her hands are twisted with
arthritis, and yet she continues to weave many colored afghans as fast as a gazelle; a labor of love. She is a loving wife and I am blessed.
