A GODLY WOMAN

 

                        A woman is like a river. Her purity is inside and it was given her from above. She gives freely of herself and is warmly taken in. She gently flows over or around every obstacle coating it with the smoothness of her understanding. Through time, she is never diminished, but always enriched by each new turning.

            She grows, with tears, for she knows she was flawed from the beginning.

 

            Yet she wears her marriage like an invisible crown and all who know her, honor her the more for that. She makes her home and prospers best in the rich protected valleys of family experience. Her voice is fresh rippling music. Her still pools run deep, fed with Living Water from above. Rain invigorates her. We are ever renewed from her timeless, classic fluidity.

 

            In her pilgrimage here, time will but enhance her beauty from within, Her face will shine with serenity and grace in abundance, and some day her spirit will soar homeward.

 

            She knows Who has loved her with an everlasting love.

 

            and she knows in her heart WHOSE she is.
