She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. How many of you make your bed in the morning when you get up? If you do not, you should try it. If you do, I'm sure you have noticed the peaceful feeling that it brings knowing you are not rushed in the morning. You have the time to give to your place of rest. And as you come home I know there is delight in the attention that it feeds you as you walk in your room and see a made up bed. She makes coverings for her bed, I can imagine her making sheets and pillow cases or little pillows for her children or her and her husbands bed.
Clothed in fine linen. Nothing about this sentence tells me that she has high taste for expensive things. I get a sense of humbleness in this sentence, peace in her fine linen. She has no labels on her clothing and therefore no one can label her, most importantly she doesn't label herself. She knows the clothing she wears are of linen to cover her body so she may be respected.
I find this interesting, the color purple. I researched what this color means. Purple is the color of good judgment. It is the color of people seeking spiritual fulfillment. It is said if you surround yourself with purple you will have peace of mind. Purple is a good color to use in meditation. What a beautiful woman, dressed without labels so she is not judged, covered in cloth so she is fulfilled spiritually and not revealing the body God gave her. At peace with herself and in her mind. I picture her humming in the morning, meditating on how she will spend her day.
Rise up beautiful woman, cover your bed in the morning and cover your body.
