The last sermon I heard about a woman of virtue reminded me of the virtuous woman I have been married to for the past 21+ years. She truly possesses the qualities of the virtuous woman mentioned in the Bible.
Virtuous is described as being good, righteous, worthy, honorable, moral, upright, and honest. Above all a woman of virtue is God fearing. When a woman has certain qualities and is of good character, people tend to recognize her as she enters the room. Those of little character shutter at her sight, for being in her presence casts a shadow on their lack of character and moral values. Instead of raising their level of expectations, they try and drag the woman of virtue down to a level where they can relate.
When will our young women stop being doormats for carnal pleasure? When will our women rise to new levels of expectations. It’s time for all black men to step up and seek out women of virtue. Maybe then all non-virtuous women in our community will be forced to live by higher standards. When our women continue to allow their character and moral values to deteriorate, they are as rottenness in his bones attributing to the decay. Have you met a virtuous woman lately? I knew a woman of virtue when I saw her as a kid some thirty-four years ago at the age of twelve. I am not saying she is perfect or better than anyone else. I am simply stating the facts and thanking GOD for putting my woman or virtue in my path. She definitely possesses all the qualities. I am glad I was paying attention as a young man in Sunday school when the teacher looked me in the eyes and described “The Rare Commodity of the Virtuous Woman”. I truly love my RC.

One day when reading the book of 'Proverbs' I made a checklist in my mind in which I was proud to say, I past the test! Even when I thought I was this great woman, and would be a great wife, to top it all off I was complimented and confirmed by my Lifemate who also told me, "You need to understand deep down the VALUE in which you hold." When these words were said to me, it was something I needed to hear over the years of previous relationships, it was something I also had to understand about myself in which I should not be handled in hands of uncertainty or just any hands in which may have a cloudy view of who I truly am. I am rare and I enjoy the titling of which others may confuse with stuck up or them simply not understanding me. I am a work in progress, but only due to continous wisdom I breathe in everyday and the detoxicating of the negative things in which I will not allow to tear down my home. (Home- defined as the woman of who I am) Truly I am- A Virtous Woman.
