Proverbs 31:13-15

She seeks wool and flax, and willingly works with her hands. She is like the merchant ships, she brings food from afar. She also rises while it is yet night, And provides food for her household, and a portion for her maidservants.

What a blessing Father to do things we enjoy. The fortitude to obtain skill and mastery while working diligently towards something and the knowing it is doing unto You is a blessing too. May we be blessed to find fulfillment even in the ordinary tasks of the day. Father, make us keenly aware of the needs of others so we may selflessly serve them. May this bear witness of the sacrificial love of Your precious Son Jesus, bringing Him honor. May we daily rise early with thanksgiving knowing You have blessed us with another day to be fruitful. May we have hearts devoted to the wellbeing of those who dwell among us. May our homes be the center of our ministry as we endeavor to live lives of kindness. May our jesters of love be a source that enables our households to be productive throughout their days as well. Father, strengthen the feeble knees and weak hands of those who are battling chronic illness and yet their hearts desire is to serve as they strive to complete the work You have called them too. Father, lift the heads of those who combat the spirit of heaviness, give them a new song to whistle as they work. May the joy of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ be our strength. In His name I pray and give thanks Amen.
