Give your belongings to people who could use them. When decluttering your home or making a seasonal clothing transition, think about who could use your belongings. Would your children\u2019s outgrown clothing help a family at church? Could a young couple get some good use out of furniture you no longer want? Would a neighbor enjoy something you are planning to get rid of?<\/p>\n

Give it away\u2026you may not realize what a blessing this could be. 3. Find reputable organizations you\u2019d like to partner with. Not every organization that asks for money is fiscally responsible. Do your homework. And when you find an organization you trust, donate to the poor. 4. Create Blessing Bags and keep them in your car. This is as easy as one shopping trip. Buy gallon-size resealable plastic bags, along with: \u2022 Toothbrushes \u2022 Travel-size toothpaste \u2022 Travel-size hand sanitizer \u2022 Travel-size deodorant \u2022 Sample package of aspirin \u2022 Travel package of tissues \u2022 Razor \u2022 Safety pins \u2022 Soap \u2022 Bottle of water \u2022 Juice box \u2022 Filling snacks \u2013 granola bars, cereal bars, dried fruit, nuts, pre- packaged cheese and crackers \u2022 A gospel pamphlet Make sure each bag contains one of each item, and keep a stash of bags in your vehicle.<\/p>\n

When you pull up to a stop light and see a person holding a sign asking for help, you can quickly reach out your window and cheerfully give a bag instead of looking the other way. (A simple \u201cMay God bless you, sir\u201d \u2013 or \u201cma\u2019am\u201d \u2013 is all you need to say.) Once you give the bag, be sure to pray for the person you\u2019ve helped. 5. Fill shoeboxes with children\u2019s gifts for Operation Christmas Child. Do a quick search for a participating church in your neighborhood, and get shopping!<\/p>\n

Helping the needy doesn\u2019t have to be difficult, but you do need to do it with intention. Pray for your eyes to be opened to those who could use some help, and get ready to watch the Lord answer your prayers. Things to Think About 1. How have you helped the needy in the past?<\/p>\n

What have you enjoyed doing? What seemed to be appreciated the most? 2. Think of your current responsibilities and availability. How much time can you give to helping the needy?<\/p>\n

Chapter 1: Trying to Become an Excellent Wife Chapter 2: Working With Willingness and Delight Chapter 3: Providing and Preparing Food Chapter 4: Woman\u2019s Work Chapter 5: Imitating the Strength of the Proverbs 31 Woman Chapter 6: The Proverbs 31 Woman\u2019s Success Chapter 7: Helping the Needy Chapter 8: Meeting Your Family\u2019s Needs Chapter 9: Respecting Your Husband Chapter 10: Using Your Talents Chapter 11: Laughing At the Days to Come Chapter 12: Using Words Wisely Chapter 13: Keeping Busy at Home Chapter 14: Living a Praiseworthy Life Chapter 15: Summarizing the Life of the Proverbs 31 Woman Appendix: Proverbs 31 for the Single Woman About the Author 1kitap1.com\/en Introduction Some Christian women despise the description found in Proverbs 31:10-31.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not familiar with her, the Proverbs 31 woman works hard\u2026and it seems like she does everything exceptionally well. In an age of comparison, it can be easy to feel inadequate when you read about a biblical superwoman. I challenge you to take a different approach, though. Instead of focusing on how you can never measure up to her example, look at her life as an excellent biblical description of what women can do. Women can work hard and succeed. Women can be excellent wives and mothers.<\/p>\n

Women can act as the very strong and capable backbones of their families. I\u2019m thankful that the Proverbs 31 woman is included in the Bible because it gives specific inspiration for women. Instead of only wondering what homemakers, wives and mothers could or should do, this passage of Scripture details it for us. An Important Perspective As you read Proverbs 31, it\u2019s important to remember that it\u2019s a portrait of a woman\u2019s lifetime, not a spotlight on a particular season.<\/p>\n

If you feel like you can\u2019t possibly do all she did, take a deep breath. She didn\u2019t do it all at once. Figure out what is necessary right now in your current season of life, and concentrate on that. As time and energy allows, take on new tasks when given the opportunity and drop others. Just as it\u2019s vital to remember that as we typically see the Photoshopped and absolute best versions of people\u2019s lives on Facebook, Proverbs 31 highlights a woman\u2019s triumphs.<\/p>\n

She would\u2019ve faced trials. She would\u2019ve had bad days. She would\u2019ve faced seasons of her life where work or family brought overwhelming challenges. Also remember that someone else (Lemuel) wrote this about her \u2013 she didn\u2019t say the words about herself. While keeping this in mind, remember that far too often we are too hard on ourselves. How do other people view your successes?<\/p>\n

How would someone else describe your strengths? We get to see her greatest hits\u2026and they are great.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
