In a world of darkness, let us be the light.
We’re certainly not perfect … but we are aiming for this:
“O give us homes built firm upon the Saviour,
Where Christ is Head, and Counsellor and Guide;
Where ev’ry child is taught His love and favor
And gives his heart to Christ, the crucified:
How sweet to know that tho’ his footsteps waver
His faithful Lord is walking by his side!
O give us homes with godly fathers, mothers,
Who always place their hope and trust in Him;
Whose tender patience turmoil never bothers,
Whose calm and courage trouble cannot dim;
A home where each finds joy in serving others,
And love still shines, tho’ days be dark and grim.
O give us homes where Christ is Lord and Master,
The Bible read, the precious hymns still sung;
Where prayer comes first in peace or in disaster,
And praise is natural speech to ev’ry tongue;
Where mountains move before a faith that’s vaster,
And Christ sufficient is for old and young.
O Lord, our God, our homes are Thine forever!
We trust to Thee their problems, toil, and care;
Their bonds of love no enemy can sever
If Thou art always Lord and Master there:
Be Thou the center of our least endeavor:
Be Thou our Guest, our hearts and homes to share.”
{preparing dinner before 8:30 a.m. in the morning;
{Lariah is held and loved by so many!}
{bread dough rising on my Hoosier}
{a flight of fancy, making cupcakes one afternoon for the little ones}
{10 babies and this will never get old to me! Thank you, Lord, for my blessings!}
{a blissful moment of Luther and Lariah napping together in my room}
I’m holding tight to these special-yet-ordinary days and loving the non-ordinary life that the Lord has given us.
