SLEEPY TIME TEA
There is a product called “sleepy time tea”. According to Celestial Seasoning, “sleepy time tea” has an aroma that helps soothe your body after a long day.
This tea, with other ingredients, can make it a little difficult to wake up in the morning.
As we once again do our “profile peeking” into the Proverbs 31 woman, we see that she is awake and alert.
Prov.31:15 “She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.”
This woman had a servant spirit.
Even though it is the job of the servants to feed their master, she got up early to feed her servants.
She must have made a commitment to God to be a servant and for her, it was a joyful way of life.
By listening to people, you find out the need in their life.
This gives you an opportunity to meet that need.
Especially apply this to your husband who is just as important as you are.
Gal.5:13 “…by love serve one another.”
Try to practice getting up earlier. Read your word or pray. Put on your make up and comb your hair. Then put on a pot of coffee.
You are now ready to wake up your spouse. Lol!!
What!!! You mean you don’t do that?!?
Ok, girls. You are really going to score some points with your hubby tomorrow morning!! Lol!!
“She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls.”
One of her top priorities is to set the pace because she understands that as a good manager her responsibility is to take care of those under her authority.
She mastered the skill of homemaking before she mastered her skills in the marketplace.
Have you mastered the skill of housework?
You must learn some expertise at home before you delegate that work to someone else.
This woman was energetic and a hard worker.
Let’s see what the scriptures have to say about the opposite type of woman.
Prov.6:9-11 “How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? (Yet) a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.”
Prov.20:13 “Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, (and) thou shalt be satisfied with bread.”
Eccles.9:10 “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do (it) with thy might…”
Rom.12:11 “…not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord…”
Ok, it’s time to put down the “sleepy time tea”.
The virtuous woman loves her God given role better than her ease or her pleasure.
This woman has chosen well and has a great attitude about life.
How are you going to play this one?
Are you going to rise early or are you a sluggard?
Only you can make that choice.
Let God shower you with blessings for making the right choice.
You have a special presence in your family.
NOTE: Don’t miss tomorrows post. Daily there is a new post.
