I've been thinking about prayer a lot lately. After having a discussion with my dad about it, he let me borrow his book of old Puritan prayers a few weeks ago. I was immediately drawn to a prayer called "The Family," and a particular passage really spoke to me...
'Sanctify and prosper my domestic devotion, instruction, discipline, and example, that my house may be a nursery for heaven.'
Wow! I'd never thought of it that way before. My home...a nursery for heaven? That's a HUGE responsibility, but it's also a wonderful blessing.
Who would've guessed heaven's nursery is an ugly mint green house in central Phoenix? ;)
