Committal and Dismissal
aman
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart
OF HER HUSBAND DOTH SAFELY TRUST IN HER, SO THAT HE SHALL HAVE NO NEED OF SPOIL.
She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh wool, and
FLAX, AND WORKETH WILLINGLY WITH HER HANDS. SHE IS LIKE THE MERCHANTS SHIPS;
SHE BRINGETH HER FOOD FROM AFAR. SHE RISETH ALSO WHILE IT IS YET NIGHT, AND GIVETH
MEAT TO HER HOUSEHOLD, AND A PORTION TO HER MAIDENS. SHE CONSIDERETH A FIELD,
AND BUYETH IT! WITH THE FRUIT OF HER HANDS SHE PLANTETH A VINEYARD. SHE GIRDETH
HER LOINS WITH STRENGTH, AND STRENGTHENETH HER ARMS. SHE PERCEIVETH THAT HER
MERCHANDISE IS GOOD! HER CANDLE GOETH NOT OUT BY NIGHT. SHE LAYETH HER HANDS
TO THE SPINDLE, AND HER HANDS HOLD THE DISTAFF. SHE STRETCHETH OUT HER HAND TO
THE POOR; YEA, SHE REACHETH FORTH HER HANDS TO THE NEEDY. SHE IS NOT AFRAID OF
THE SNOW FOR HER HOUSEHOLD: FOR ALL HER HOUSEHOLD ARE CLOTHED WITH SCARLET.
She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. Her
HUSBAND IS KNOWN IN THE GATES, WHEN HE SITTETH AMONG THE ELDERS OF THE LAND.
She MAKETH FINE LINEN, AND SELLETH IT; AND DELIVERETH GIRDLES UNTO THE MERCHANT.
Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of
idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he
PRAISETH HER. MANY DAUGHTERS HAVE DONE VIRTUOUSLY, BUT THOU EXCELLEST THEM
all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord,
she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works
PRAISE HER IN THE GATES.
We gratefully acknowledge with sincere appreciation your comforting
expressions of sympathy, hospitality, and acts of kindness during our mothers
illness and our bereavement. Your thoughtfulness will long be remembered and
treasured forever. May the love of God be with you ALWAYS.
Special Thanks to Dr. Benjamin Rucker & Staff and Medical Villa Pharmacy.
