A healing touch is sometimes all one needs to break down those barriers that have been put up over the years, causing oppression and physical and/or emotional trauma.  It is also a more difficult thing, using BOTH hands, and it may take more time to help someone work through some of the more difficult things that have happened in their pasts and apply proper Biblical counsel to it,  rather than just giving money to your favorite charity.  I believe the second part of this verse indicates a giving of some of her time, not just money.

I AM NOT suggesting that the giving of ones money is any less than the giving of ones time.  I am merely suggesting, that, as seen here in Proverbs 31, this woman would correctly discern which was more appropriate for any given situation.  She used BOTH methods.

Of course, I may be wrong in these conclusions, but I have worked with enough people, troubled women specifically, to know that they CAN be helped with money, but that there is NO replacement for the time that you invest in someone’s life to bring about a healing of past hurts.

So ladies, you not only have a NEW TESTAMENT authority in scripture to specifically help the emotionally damaged, but there is also OLD TESTAMENT scripture to back up this principal.
