"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
