Family night at co-op

Friday night was Family Night for the home-school co-op that Stacie got involved with this semester. It was a great time of fellowship and encouragement. I got to meet and talk with several of the other fathers as well as hear from the kids on some of the things they had learned together during the semester.

Near the end of the evening one of the men spoke a word of praise and encouragement to all the mothers that worked so hard all semester to make the co-op a success. I couldn't have agreed more with his comments. Our wives work tirelessly pouring themselves into our children day in day out.

Below is a video that Marcy (one of the co-op moms) made that we all enjoyed watching together. (Thanks Marcy for all the work you put into this!)




Proverbs 31:10-31

An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar. She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens. She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong. She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night. She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet. She makes bed coverings for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple. Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant. Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all." Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.
