Happy the Home

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 is 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
That makes them truly wise.

Lord, let us in our homes agree,
This blessed peace to gain;
Until our hearts in love to Thee,
And love to all will reign.

Henry Ware, 1794-1843 (Taken from Secrets of Happy Home Life; J.R.Miller)

Hi Miranda! The daileaders are in Ethiopia right now. They found out that there are 20 babies there at the gladney foster care center and only 3 have been referred (they are all under 9 months old.) All 17 of the other babies have been matched though! They are just waiting for the medical stuff to clear and then you should be getting a referral! I can't wait!
