Home

God Gives all men all earth to love,
But since man's heart is small,
Ordains for each one spot should prove
Beloved over all.
-Rudyard Kipling



Where is your beloved spot? Is it the home of your childhood? The home where you raised your small children? Where you are right now?

It is tied to my family, I know that.

"Lord, behold our family here assembled.
We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell;
for the love that unites us;for the peace accorded us this day;
for the hope with which we expect the morrow;
for the health,the work,the good, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful..."
-Robert Louis Stevenson

For the Beauty of the Earth

For the beauty of the earth,
for the glory of the skies,
for the love which from our birth
over and around us lies;
Lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise

For the joy of human love,
brother, sister, parent, child,
friends on earth and friends above,
for all gentle thoughts and mild;
Lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise.

For thyself, best Gift Divine,
to the world so freely given,
for that great, great love of thine,
peace on earth, and joy in heaven:
Lord of all, to thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise.
-Folliott S. Pierpoint, 1864
