Artist’s Comments: My wife, Margarita, suggested this text, so that our homeschooled children would be inspired by these lofty ideals. The key words are emphasized, with the remaining text a counter balancing pattern.

Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, honest, pure, lovely, and of good report, if there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8
A woman of valor, who can find? Her worth is far above jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and nothing shall he lack. She renders him good and not evil all the days of her life. She opens her hand to the needy, and extends her hand to the poor. She is robed in strength and dignity, and cheerfully faces whatever may come. She opens her mouth with wisdom. Her tongue is guided by kindness. She tends to the affairs of her household, and eats not the bread of idleness. Her children come forward and bless her. Her husband too, and he praises her. Many women have done superbly, but you surpass them all. Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a God-fearing woman is much to be praised. Place before her the fruit of her hands. Wherever people gather, her deeds speak her praise.
St. John is praying here for both our material and spiritual well-being. God desires that we would be healthy and financially secure, though not at the expense of our spiritual health. When it’s a choice between the temporal and the eternal, God usually chooses the prosperity of our souls.
