Proverbs 31:17
She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
= My mom
Proverbs 31:20
She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
= My grandma (my mom's mom)
Proverbs 31:22
She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
= David's mom
Now, I did not go looking for verses to fit each person. It's really true that whenever I read the passage, these particular verses always make me think of these special ladies.
Here's a picture of my grandma, my mom, me, and Braden (Aug. 2006 - 20 months old - the same age Cameron is now). :)

And here's one of David's mom, Donna, with Cousin Corbin and Braden (June 2009).

Finally, here's a verse I've been striving to emulate:
Proverbs 31:27
She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Thank you, Jenny. I laughed when I read the one you picked for me because I've been bemoaning how much strength I have lost in the past few years. But, yes, on a recent visit to your home, I discovered I could still pick up and hold both my grandsons at the same time. (We probably should have taken a photo!) :-D Love, Mom
