I couldn't go worship with my family today at church becuase I am still extremely ill with "morning/all day" sickness.  I pulled down my grandfather's worn hymnbook from our bookshelves and began to read the words.  What a delight when I found a hymn called "Happy the Home" by Henry Ware, 1794-1843. It is so true, that I wanted to share it.

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 fame, 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.

Have a blessed SONday!
