I have a tattoo of “Eshet Chayil” in Hebrew on my arm. I got it as a reminder of what to live up to, but also in honor of and #RememberingRHE. I work in an Emergency Department. The other night an elderly Jewish woman was a patient.
She and her family were speaking Hebrew amongst themselves and with their Rabbi while they waited. Once she was admitted, I took her back to her room. She saw my tattoo and said, “Eshet Chayil”.
This was the first time I’d heard the phrase spoken aloud. I’ve seen it written in it’s various forms, but never spoken. She asked me if I knew what Eshet Chayil meant, and why it was important to me.

“God's ways are higher than our ways not because he is less compassionate than we are but because he is more compassionate than we can ever imagine.” - @rachelheldevans #rememberingRHE
These are very good questions. My impulsive response is "yes" to all.
I realize I’m RTing this as a Christian white male, and anything I have to say on this comes with a lot of context re: my privilege, and anything else so many other Christian white males have said, with no empathy for the mother or her child once he or she leaves the womb.
So much is wrong with how we’ve gotten here, and I’m not talking about the progressive side.
