I want to teach my children to count their days and to understand the benefits of a fully integrated life with God. I want them to experience wonder at the thought of Him and the security that a life with Him brings. Maybe it will not bring them fleeting securities of wealth or fame, but it will bring the knowledge and assurances and peace that a life with God offers. This temporal life is a beginning and we are working and playing in that knowledge. I had the pleasure of listening to the St Matthew's Choir sing this on Sunday and it was beautiful indeed.

O how amiable are thy dwellings: thou Lord of hosts!My soul hath a desire and a longing to enter into the courts of the Lord:My heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house,and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young:even the altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be always praising thee.The glorious Majesty of the Lord our God be upon us:prosper thou the work of our hands upon us.O prosper thou our handywork, O prosper thou our handywork.
O God our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come,Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home.
Goodnight to Genevieve, Leticia, Randall and Scott
