"When We All Get to Heaven "
Her children arise and call her blessed, her husband also and he praises her: "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the lord is to be praised.
Give her the reward she has earned ...
Proverbs 31:28-31
