a prayer for families.

my heart was touched this morning.
i have been full lately with a desire to love my family, to teach them, to create a home of love and spirituality.
at times, i feel that i am marching up hill, carrying many.

as a family, we read these words together.
words, spoken from a living prophet of God, to me...

Bringing Heaven Closer
"May our families and homes be filled with love: love of each other, love of the gospel, love of our fellowman, and love of our Savior.  As a result, heaven will be a little closer here on earth.
"May we make our homes sanctuaries to which our family members will ever want to return"

I was SO grateful, and comforted, to read this prophetic prayer...

A Prayer for Families
"Inasmuch as the family unit is under attack in the world today, and many things long held sacred are ridiculed, we ask Thee, our Father, to make us equal to the challenges we face, that we may stand strong for truth and righteousness.  May our homes be havens of peace, of love, and of spirituality."

somehow, this morning i am filled with HOPE. 
together, the Lord and todd and i, we can make our home a heavenly haven of peace, love and spirituality.
i just know it.
