“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of he Lord for ever.”
-Psalm 23:1-6

A virtuous woman is one of a kind the Bible says she is hard to find. Her price is far above rubies, which are rare, she must be handled with extreme care. Her husband knows she’s a precious gem indeed, he knows that she is willing to please. Her children treat her with honor and respect, they know that she always does her best. A virtuous woman does all that she can, she’s always there and stands by her man. Though she’s humble and meek, she takes no mess, you can count on her to pass the test. You will know her when she passes you by, for she always holds her head up high.
She’s courageous, strong, and a dignified lady. You will never know that she has shed tears. A lady of class and elegance too, she will let you know what you will need to do, To come up to her standard, which is very high, For she is headed for her home in the sky. So to the virtuous women of today, always remember the part that you play. Just be Christ like, for He is the one, who gave His only begotten Son.
She will forever be Our Queen!
