A Family With An Old Fashioned Love For Jesus

A Family With “An Old Fashioned” for Jesus!

I know of a family and what an experience!
 They display Christ’ love by their
 humble appearance!

Often I can hardly believe what I’m seeing!
The love and joy of Christ I was now receiving!

They don’t have much in the way of entertainment.
They have God’s peace and sweet contentment!

They’re happy about God and very excited.
They talk about the good things in life  
and are delighted!

The simple things in their family do abound!
Love and peace in their home,
can be found!

A love for God in this home I’m able to see!
What’s good for them, 
 is good for me!
	
A respect for the parents is clear and evident.
They accept the Holy Spirit as their “chief resident!”

I’m thankful to God for the blessing they’ve been.
I’m glad that I know them and call them friend!

May we all be encouraged in our families too!
Let’s not forget to say; “I LOVE YOU!”

May the love of Christ keep us all together!
May we seek his will today and forever!

Thank you lord for your goodness and grace!
We welcome you into our dwelling place!
