A proverbs 31 wife.... my wife Kris

The Good Wife

It is hard to find a good wife, because she is worth more than rubies. Her husband trusts her completely. With her, he has everything he needs. She does him good and not harm for as long as she lives. She looks for wool and flax and likes to work with her hands. She is like a trader's ship, bringing food from far away. She gets up while it is still dark and prepares food for her family and feeds her servant girls. She inspects a field and buys it. With money she earned, she plants a vineyard. She does her work with energy, and her arms are strong. She knows that what she makes is good. Her lamp burns late into the night. She makes thread with her hands and weaves her own cloth. She welcomes the poor and helps the needy. She does not worry about her family when it snows, because they all have fine clothes to keep them warm. She makes coverings for herself; her clothes are made of linen and other expensive material. Her husband is known at the city meetings, where he makes decisions as one of the leaders of the land. She makes linen clothes and sells them and provides belts to the merchants. She is strong and is respected by the people. She looks forward to the future with joy. She speaks wise words and teaches others to be kind. She watches over her family and never wastes her time. Her children speak well of her. Her husband also praises her,saying, "There are many fine women, but you are better than all of them." Charm can fool you, and beauty can trick you, but a woman who respects the Lord should be praised. Give her the reward she has earned; she should be praised in public for what she has done.

Kris, my wonderful wife

I found my wife at the University Inn in Eugene and she is worth more than any precious stone. I trust her completely, I need to look no further for my needs. She does me good and not harm and will do so her entire life. She shops at Trader Joes, decorates our house, repaints the rooms annually and recovers the kitchen chairs always making our home look wonderful. She always puts others needs before her. Even the cats get their share of her love. She goes on Ebay and Craigslist to find amazing deals on Tivos and tables and plants for our home. She works at the church not only to supplement our income but to invest in the lives of young people. She is smart and talented, so much so I am amazed every day. She is thoughtful and insightful and caring for so many. She cares so much for others, she foregoes her needs for the needs of others. She takes the kids to garage sales to find amazing deals. She takes our girls to Ross for fashionable yet affordable clothing. She cares for people in need. She thinks of those less fortunate. She cooks for those that are sick. She does not worry about her family when it snows, for she knows they are skiing and drinking hot chocolate at Stevens Pass. She has leopard clothing… from knee high boots, to blouses, to coats. I love it, and it gets me excited. I was known in the land of Seattle as the punt returner for a number of years. She was by my side for all of them. She comforted me when they booed. She cared for me when I skinned my knee. She is bold enough to walk into church with her knee high leopard boots. She influences young women and girls to also wear leopard and be proud. She listens to teenage girls. She sympathizes like no other. She truly cares for their needs and understands their fears. She is like a soft blanket they can wrap around themselves in the winter time and feel warm. Her children love her and admire her. They don’t always know how to express it but will be wise to grow up just like her. Of all the foxes and babes out there, Kris you are better then all of them. Some may appear to have something on you but they are deceitful and are from the pit of hell. Kris loves God. She follows Jesus. I don’t tell everyone enough how amazing she is. Hey everyone… Kris is amazing and wonderful and smart and thoughtful and a good cook and sexy and makes my heart thump after 17 years of marriage just as she did when I first met her.
