The Virtuous Hands

"......and her fingers have taken hold of the spindle."

What does the virtuous woman do with her hands? Does she sew and mend for her family? What does she sew?


The virtuous woman mends, washes, purchases, and folds the clothes for her family. She gently uses her hands to clothe her family and decorate her home. She knows the joy of giving to her family the arts of her hands. She gently carasses the head of her sick child and wipes away the tears of life. She learns the delicate work of needlepoint, embroidery, cross stitch, crochet, etc for she knows that idle hands are never virtuous.
