The Heart of a Woman

August 3, 2010 by Guest Author 2 Comments

The heart of a woman,
Filled with virtue and love
Is a gift and example,
Sent from Heaven above

The heart of a woman,
Is her husband’s delight
As she is his strong pillar,
Through the hardest of nights

The heart of a woman,
Is her children’s bright light
As she shelters from wrong,
And then guides towards right

The heart of a woman,
Is her friend’s joyous rest
Years of laughter and tears,
She gives only the best

The heart of a woman,
That trusts in the Lord
Is the heart of a woman,
Who yields His great sword

The heart of a woman,
Rubies cannot compare
To the heart of a woman,
With God’s love to share

Welcome to Come Fill Your Cup!

CFYC About Image Welcome! We are so glad you stopped by. Come Fill Your Cup is a group of Christian ladies dedicated to equipping women for study and service. We know you are busy and that life’s hectic pace pulls you in so many directions, but you can’t truly be the woman God desires unless you take time to fill your own cup…not with spa days (though we love a good spa!) or the latest novel…but with God’s Holy Word. We want to help you with that! Our goal is to reach you in the midst of your busy day and give you encouragement, education, and fellowship as you strive to live the life God has laid before you. Our prayer is that we can help fill your cup so that you, in turn, can overflow to all those around you. So, as we like to say…come fill your cup, and let it overflow!
