Do you have a ‘use-by’ date?
As we get older we’re often tempted to think that our time has passed, that all opportunities are gone, that we’re no longer useful to community. But this is far from the truth. Too many people ignore the older folk and miss a wealth of knowledge, history and experience, that is just yearning to be […]
The importance of a mother in the home
I was chatting to a consultant a couple of weeks ago about contribution to society through our respective businesses. I told him how I’ve helped thousands of women (worldwide, not just here in Australia) return home to work and be there for their families. When you think about it, how many less children would there […]
The things that I do…
I haven’t shared in detail at this blog what I do in my work at home although my book “Worth More Than Rubies” does explain it. I thought I might share what I do here in this blog to give you all hope. My business began as a homebased secretarial business in 1994. The plan […]
Shifting the forum
I have been running a discussion forum for P31 women at Ning but recent Ning annoucements have made me think about the direction of this group. With close to 200 members there is obviously an interest in this topic and a need for women to reach out to each other, however the style of forum […]
Remembering Roger
Do you remember my devotional about Roger? http://proverbs31-woman.com/2008/12/10/you-bless-him/ Today I went back to our old house to do a final inspection after the cleaners had gone through to make sure all was in order before handing the keys over to the selling agent for the new owner. After that I popped into the local shopping […]
Permission for time out
This year has been very different to the past years of our lives. We’ve gone through tremendous upheaval and change which began almost 12 months ago when we lost our darling Miriam. If anyone had told us at the beginning of September last year that nearly every member of our immediate family would be moving […]
Growth and Healing
I manage a forum for women interested in being Proverbs 31 women and I had shared with them there about the loss of our daughter some months ago. One of the women had commented she didn’t know how she’d cope with something like that. My response to her astounded me even – it was like […]
Mothers and the Proverbs 31 Woman
The Proverbs 31 woman was a wife, mother and business woman. It’s important to remember those three aspects – all knitted into one. Today women struggle to manage all their various roles and the many hats they wear, daughter, sister, auntie, wife, mother, friend, lover, worker, nurse, house duties and so on. Just where do […]
You bless him!
Proverbs 31:20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. There’s a man I see shuffling along in the local shopping strip almost every day. He walks with head bowed and usually has a bunch of books and a bible under his arm. He rarely looks up at anyone. […]
