Challenge VII
So sorry about the lack of challenge this week--a travel weekend followed by a bout of flu put me a little behind.
But it's not too late to finish well!
So for the next 3.5 days until Saturday, 13 May:
1. Say 5 encouraging things to others around you each day (verse 26). Consider the difference between encouragement and flattery. Consider that the Proverbs 31 woman is kind AND wise.
2. Memorize Proverbs 31.10-12 (verse 26)
3. Prepare at least one fabulous meal for your family/roommates/friends. During the meal, work on contributing to a wise and kind conversation (verse 26).
If you complete the challenge, send an email to proverbs31challenge@yahoo.com or let us know here! To God be the glory.

I have been thinking over my own reactions to this challenge. I think it's a wonderful thing, in the spirit in which it is being extended. Most habits take 2 weeks to form and living as God intended us to live must become habit if we are to do it consistently, for noone can remain enthusiastic day in and day out so to self-motivate.
Sometimes we simply need to be reminded. God had the people write on their doorposts and to teach their children and keep reminding them every day. I think this challenge is a wonderful way to keep his law and purpose for us ever before us.
I support you 100%.
I almost completed this challenge... but with a trip out of town for mother's day it was not possible! I did a lot of other things, though, that were not on this specific challenge! :-) Blessings!
These challenges have been extremely helpful to me. I've developed a better habit of exercising & thinking more of others than myself. I'm very grateful for these. Accountability helps you grow!
Thanks, all! Sorry I've been out of the loop lately: travel/graduation stuff, but new challenge to come v. soon!
