A prayer for home

Posted on November 2, 2008 by Barbara Harper

Lord, this humble house we’d keep
Sweet with play and calm with sleep.
Help us so that we may give
Beauty to the lives we live.
Let Thy love and let Thy grace
Shine upon our dwelling place.

That prayer would make a nice cross-stitch. I just dug out all of my threads and fabrics. Hmmmmm…
