You promise to make my home joyful and favored if I am just and consistently righteous. Make me grateful for that promise so that I take it. In doing so my children will taste the blessing and someday place their home on the same foundation as mine. Proverbs 3:33

May others look upon my children as strong, courageous, joyful and loving servants of God… and know that You are all powerful and worthy of praise and thanksgiving. I pray others will turn to You because of my children. Jos 2:11
