Pearls

Settling into the pew at church, my husband and I each began reading the scripture for the upcoming mass as we usually do.

That first line of the first reading. Somehow it was just what I needed to hear.

“When one finds a worthy wife, her value is far beyond pearls.”
Proverbs 31:10

Knowing that my husband read that line too, I wondered if he might lean over and quietly acknowledge how true this was for him.

He didn’t.

And, it didn’t matter.

I heard it and felt it.

As I read the rest of the passage, I realized I still have plenty of room to grow as a wife.

After all, a pearl takes time to form inside an oyster.

And for a pearl to form properly, it takes effort and irritation.

Wow . . .

“Keep growing.”

Here’s to more WOW Moments!
