Ask at dinner
Which day this month was your favorite, and what did it teach you?
For the grown-up
Chapter 31 begins as the teaching King Lemuel’s mother gave him (31:1), and ends with the poem of the woman of strength. Wisdom has been pictured as a woman all through the book, so it ends where it began. Tomorrow, start again at day 1: one chapter a day fits any month, and in a short month you can read two on the last day.
