HOPE

Today's reading: Proverbs 31

"There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!" Proverbs 31:28 NLT

I'll be quite honest, I'm not feeling the Proverbs 31 vibe today.

Dishes are stacked to be washed. Laundry lays in piles on the floor. Dust is 'antiquity thick'. What's planned for supper is up in the air. I'm having a hard time liking the ones I love.

So to read about a gal who had her entire act together is deflating. Defeating. Discouraging. 

Unless I choose to read about her with hope-filled eyes.

One day, I can imagine I might be her.

Some time, I may be able to do all I'm called to do--gracefully and lovingly.

Later, my act might be together.

Today is not that day, but I have hope!
