“Be the woman who fixes another woman’s crown without telling the world it was crooked.”
How beautiful is that?
It’s that gentle and quiet approach where our only desire is to help, and we don’t announce it. That means we don’t tell anyone; it doesn’t become coffee conversation, nor does it become part of a ladies group in an effort to share without gossiping. It means risking the awkwardness afterwards by the person you’ve helped who doesn’t know how to thank you or how to sit and talk about it. It also means being prepared for someone to do the same to and for you.
Life has its disappointments and challenges, but you’ve got faith, strength, perseverance, and resilience. You’ll get through this! Be encouraged, and despite what you’re going through, BELIEVE.
Proverbs 31:25: “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.”
Proverbs 31:16-17: “She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.”
We all have those days that we need a sister to quietly fix our crown, give us a hug, pray for us… its ok. It doesn’t show weakness, it shows we are human. But we also have to be wise to see when someone else needs their crown adjusted too.
So… I pray this will help or encourage someone today… we all need that person or tribe to help us on our bad days.
Remember never let your cup be empty. ☕️
