Proverbs - Wisdom by Example

Proverbs 23:24-25

The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.

For our children to have wisdom that brings us joy, we must teach them what is wise.  We also should see to be those wise women they can learn from in our own lives.  By being in the book of Proverbs we should be growing in wisdom that they can pattern their lives by.  Do you seek to be wise?   How are your sleep patterns?  Do your children see you go to bed at a reasonable time and wake up at an appropriate time?  How about your eating habits?  Do you make wise choices that are healthy and appropriate?  Are you guarding your mouth against gossip and complaints?  Do you do your work around the house with diligence and order your days with responsibility in mind?  Do you go and do what you want to do instead of what you need to do?  Let us be wise women so that our children will be wise children.  Our husbands’ hearts will greatly rejoice and we will be glad when they are wise children.  Let us make sure we have done all we can to influence them in the way of wisdom.
