A Happy Home

Children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.  Psalm 127:3

 

Today there are more pressures on the home than perhaps at any other time in the history of the human race.

By necessity or by desire, more women are working today than ever before. Many feel guilty about leaving their children in the care of others or having them return to an empty home while they are at work. But many women (and men too) still devote more attention to their working life than they do to their family life. Is it any wonder, then, that so many homes are in trouble?

What achievement in life is equal to a happy home and children who grow up to praise their parents? Every material goal, even if it is met, will pass away. But the heritage of godly children is timeless.

Our primary responsibility is to be sure our children grow up in homes where God is honored and the love of Christ reigns. Do your children sense that Christ is at the center of your home?
