The Home, Continued...




The Home

"The sphere of her divine assignment."
John MacArthur

"I love you five times around the world,
and right straight into God's face!"
words from my youngest
at bedtime

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly,
as you teach and admonish one another
in all wisdom,
and as you sing psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs with thankfulness
in your hearts to God."
Col. 3:16


If you are a "house worker"
today
Consider it a privilege to
share stories of faith
with your children.
Dear readers, do not "out-source"
their faith.

Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart every word;
Tell me the story most precious, Sweetest that ever was heard.
Tell how the angels, in chorus, Sang as they welcomed his birth,
"Glory to God in the highest! Peace and good tidings to earth."

Fasting alone in the desert, Tell of the days that are past,
How for our sins He was tempted, Yet was triumphant at last.
Tell of the years of His labor, Tell of the sorrow He bore,
He was despised and afflicted, Homeless, rejected, and poor.

Tell of the cross where they nailed Him, Writhing in anguish and pain;
Tell of the grave where they laid Him, Tell how he liveth again.
Love in that story so tender, Clearer than ever I see:
Stay, let me weep while you whisper, Love paid the ransom for me.

Tell them what He has done.
Pass on your stories of faith
to the next generation.

God Bless You!
