(Give Me My Flowers While I`m Living )

Proverbs 31:10 (KJV) Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

Proverbs 31:29-31 (KJV) Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

[30] Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

[31] Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

THE WORD OF GOD FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD

VERY BRIEFLY I WOULD LIKE REASONING WITH

YOU ON THE TOPIC

(GIVE ME MY FLOWERS WHILE I`M LIVING SO I)

(CAN SEE THE BEAUTY THAT THEY BRING)

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

THE WRITER OF THE TEXT BEFORE US IS KING

LEMUEL

AND HE FOCUS ON THE ATTRIBUTES OF WHAT IS

DESCRIBED AS A VIRTUOUS WOMAN

AND THE WORD VIRTURE IN THE TEXT REFERS TO

THE MORAL AND MENTAL QUAILITES OF A

WOMAN COMBINED WITH A SPRIT OF LOVE

AND THE FEAR OF GOD

AND AS WE EXAMINE THE TEXT

IT`S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT EACH

VERSE BEGINS WITH A DIFFERENT LETTER FROM

THE HEBREW ALPHABET

YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

ALEPH -IS FOR A WOMAN WHO IS FULL OF

VIRTURE

BETH -REFERS TO THE TRUST SHE SHARES WITH

HER FAMILY

DALETH -STANDS FOR HOW SHE SEEK HER WARES

AND EACH LETTER GIVES US A GOOD VIRTURE OF

A WOMAN

WHO IS EQUIP TO RECEIVE HER FLOWERS WHILE

SHE IS LIVING SO SHE CAN SEE THE BEAUTY THAT

THEY BRING

AND I NEED TO PAUSE AND SAY TO THE

PLEASANT VALLEY CHURCH FAMILY

TO CONTINUE TO LOVE MOTHER ROSIE MC

GOWEN FOR SHE IS A JEWEL IN THE KINGDOM OF

GOD

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

WE WILL DISCOVER IN VERSE 26 IN THE TEXT

THAT A VIRTUOUS WOMAN HAS 4 CHARACTER

TRAITS THAT ARE UNIQUE

SHE IS A WOMAN OF STRENGHT-HONOR -WISDOM

AND KINDNESS

AS WELL A WOMAN WHO IS LOYAL TO HER

FAMILY

VERSES 13-- 21 DESCRIBES HER AS A

INDUSTRIOUS WOMAN WHO FINDS WAYS TO

PROVIDE FOR HER FAMILY

AND WHEN SHE CAN`T BUY WHAT HER FAMILY

NEEDS

SHE MAKE IT HERSELF TO THE BEST OF HER

ABILITY

FOR NEITHER WEATHER OR SEASONS WILL STOP

HER FROM PROVIDING FOR HER FAMILY

FOR VERSE 21 REVEALS THAT SHE IS A WOMAN

THAT IS NOT AFRAID OF THE SNOW

FOR HER HOUSEHOLD IS CLOTHE WITH SCARLET

BUT NOT ONLY DOES SHE CARETH FOR HER

FAMILY

VERSE 20 TELLS US

SHE STRETCH OUT HER HANDS TO HELP THE

POOR AND THE NEEDY

AND IS CONCERN ABOUT THE SICK

FOR SHE VISIT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN

HOSIPITALIZE

AS WELL SHE PREPARES FOOD FOR THE SHUT-IN

BUT MOST OF ALL SHE IS A WOMAN WHO FEARS

THE LORD

OH MY BROTHERS AND SISTER

LOCATED DEEP DOWN IN THE FABRIC OF THE

TEXT

ARE SOME RICH SPRITUAL NUGGETS ABOUT A

WOMAN WHO FEARS THE LORD

THE 1ST SPRITUAL NUGGET I SEE IS THAT SHE IS A

WOMAN OF WISDOM

FOR HER CONVERSATION IS FAR REMOVED FROM

IDLE GOSSIP

BECAUSE SHE IS FAMILIAR WITH THE WORD OF

GOD

AND REALIZES THAT WISDOM COMES FROM

APPLYING THE WORD OF GOD TO HER LIFE

AND SHE UNDERSTANDS THAT WISDOM IS MORE

PRECIOUS THAN RUBIES

BECAUSE THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE

BEGINNING OF KNOWLEDGE AND ONLY FOOLS

DESPISE WISDOM AND DISCIPLINE

BUT NOT ONLY IS SHE A WOMAN OF WISDOM

BUT SHE IS ALSO A WOMAN OF PRAYER -FOR SHE

REALIZES THAT PRAYER CHANGES THINGS AND

THAT THERE IS POWER IN PRAYER

AND AS LONG AS SHE HAS A HEART TO PRAY

HEAVEN HAS AN EAR TO HEAR

BUT NOT ONLY IS SHE A WOMAN OF WISDOM AND

PRAYER

BUT SHE IS A WOMAN OF PIETY--AND THE

REASON WHY IS SHE FEARS THE LORD AND

LOOKS TOWARD HEAVEN AND TELLS THE LORD

THANK YOU

BECAUSE SHE REALIZES THAT THE WELL OF

HAPPINESS THAT IS FOUND IN HER HOME IS

BECAUSE THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD

AND BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN OF WISDOM

PRAYER AND PIETY

I HEAR KING LEMUEL SAYING

AFFECTION AND HONOR ARE APART OF THOSE

NEAREST TO HER

FOR HER CHILDREN WILL RISE UP AND CALL HER

BLESS

AND STRENGHT AND DIGINTY IS IN HER HOME

AND SHE HAS SECURITY AGAINST

WANTS-BECAUSE GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE

AND SHE REALIZES THAT GOD IS GOOD ALL THE

TIME AND ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD

BUT CAN I TELL YOU ABOUT THE GOODNESS OF

THE LORD
