My heart is full of Praise and Thanksgiving on this lovely Monday morning! The sun is shining so beautifully, and reminds me that the heavens declare the glory of God!
Yesterday was a wonderful day in the house of the Lord -- singing God's praises---worshiping Him in the beauty of holiness---and gaining new insights from God's Word through the messages of my pastor. How wonderful it is to be a "Child of the King"!
As we begin a new week of living for Jesus, our thoughts turn to Mothers, who we will be honoring next Sunday if Jesus tarries. It has been said that Mother is the heart of the home, and if you have been blessed to have a godly mother who takes you often to the throne of God in prayer, you are rich indeed!
In Joshua 24:15, we read: ". . .But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord". I like this little quote by an unknown author:
"The beauty of the home is order; the blessing of the home is contentment;
The glory of the home is hospitality; the crown of the home is godliness".
I also like this song published in 1846:
"Happy the home when God is there and love fills every breast,
when one their wish, and one their prayer, and one their heavenly rest.
Happy the home where Jesus' name is sweet to every ear,
where children early lisp His name and parents hold Him dear.
Happy the home where prayer is heard, and praise is wont to rise,
where parents love the sacred Word and all its wisdom prize.
Lord, let us in our homes agree this blessed peace to gain;
unite our hearts in love to Thee, and love to all will reign." Amen!
