Namnoume believed: in the resurrection through Christ, in family, and in feeding and clothing the hungry. “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” She is a Proverbs 31 woman. “Strength and dignity are her clothing.” “Bless the Lord, Oh my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, Oh my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquites; who healeth all thy diseases: who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies; who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” Psalm 103:1-5.
