When Father Does Best (6 of 8)

Psalm 128:1-8
OPEN: Proverbs 31 tells about the value of virtuous wife and mother. One woman has taken those thoughts from that chapter and applied them to her husbands and the father of her children:
Who can find a virtuous man? For his worth is far above chocolate.
The heart of his wife safely trusts him; for he will not mess around with bimbos.

Let his works praise him in the women's group.
