Proverbs 31:20
She stretcheth out her hand to the poor;
yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
Not only does this virtuous woman have concern for herself and her family,
but she is also looking out for the needs of others.
This activity takes foresight.
The virtuous woman must be disciplined with her time so that she has time to help the needy.
She must be careful with her money so that she has ample resources to help others.
She must train her children to share her time and abilities (so as not to hinder her).
She must develop skills that are useful to others (cooking, sewing, thrift shopping).
She must care for her health so that she can minister to others.
She must look outside of her home to see the needs.
She must develop a heart of compassion that responds to those needs.
She must have a true heart of love that expects nothing in return.
She must not be a hoarder or a miser.
... plenty to think on ...
