“This is where it all happens”

Chuck Swindoll:
“The family is the place where principles are
hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.
In other words, It is the place where character is taught
and caught. It is where we learn that we are loved and
cared for. It is where we learn that we have worth and
have something to contribute. It should be where we
learn that we can be forgiven when we have failed. It is
where family members show one another what God is
like and how He relates to us…

It is where children learn obedience so that they will
understand what it means to obey God. Home is where
we learn who God is and learn to love Him. Home is
where we learn who we are and who others are. It’s
where we learn to live unselfishly with other people,
taking them into consideration. All of this and much
more, happens primarily within the family.”

Psalm 127:1-5
1Unless
the LORD builds the house,
its builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the watchmen stand guard in vain.
2In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eatfor he grants sleep to those he loves.
3Children are a heritage from the LORD,
children a reward from him.

4Like
arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children born in one's youth.
5Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their enemies in the gate.

Matthew 6:25-27
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life,
what you will eat or drink; or about your body,
what you will wear. Is not life more important
than food, and the body more important than
clothes? Look at the birds of the air: they do not
sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your
heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much
more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying
can add a single hour to his life?"
