She is a
priceless gem, rarer by far than sapphire, ruby or diamond. Her radiance
depended not on some earthly or external beam. Her glow is from within, shining
from genuineness of character and purity of soul.
The dancing
sparkle of her life resulted not from material stimuli. It comes from a heart
that gives and gives and gives again with never a thought of receiving. It
reflects a life that loves and loves until there was just no more love.
Her beauty is
that of expanded unselfishness. Her whole life is others, her loved ones, her
friends, her neighbors and her church. She knows no resting place. The needs
are endless and her devotion always equaled the demands. Deep weariness of mind
and body never deterred her.
The enormous
wealth of her character shows most in her unstinting kindness. All who knows
her felt it, witnessed it, experienced and believed in it. Everyone coming
within the warm glow of her influence is cheered, encouraged, lifted and
blessed.
Her beauty
knows no vanity. She disdains the cheap, the tawdry, the make-believe. She loathes
everything farcical and hypocritical. Her genuineness is transparent. She
radiates reality. Life to her is neither a mummery nor a charade but a daily
expression of untainted sincerity.
Her glory
sprang from a love of life. Her activities never ceased and her energy seem
boundless. Her spontaneous laughter and contagious smile delights all who met
her. She enjoys being alive and her life has beauty and purpose.
She epitomizes
the virtuous woman. She is clothed with strength and honor. Our heart safely
trusts in her. She looks well to the affairs of her household. She burns the
midnight oil. Her hands are never idle. Her mouth is full of wisdom and on her
tongue is the law of kindness. We her children have risen to praise her.
She is
modest, almost to a fault. Always the lady. Always the queen. She carries
herself with poise and great dignity without pomp, piety or ceremony. Modern
trends in styles are ignored if they offended her sensitivities or violated her
convictions. She never sought praise or popularity, contented always to serve
in a spirit of congeniality and selflessness.
She is the
practical woman. Never lavish. Never wasteful. She shuns the unnecessary and
the excessive. Satisfied with simple things, she avoids that which is foolish
and vain. Sound judgments precede her decisions. Never one to parade, she
abstains from the superficial, pretentious, needless and impractical.
Above all is
the totality of her dedication. Devoted to her husband, her family, her friends
and her church, she is supremely committed to her Lord. Her faith in Christ
never wavered. Having trusted Him as a child, she loves Him more with every passing
year. Her convictions hold firm in the face of a changing world. The variances
of life’s vicissitudes never altered her course. She remains steadfast,
immovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord. She is a rock. She is
found faithful. She walks with God.
The light
from her devotion and the aroma from her character continues to live to bless perpetually
the lives of all who loves her. Her testimony and her commitment to
Christ contiues. Her husband, her children and all her descendent rises
to call her blessed.
