“Parents must discriminate as to whom even among their
relatives they entertain in their home. Some relatives might
be of such questionable character as to menace the moral,

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.

1. No disease;
2. No predators;
3. No rivalry; and
4. No hunger.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

By C. S. Lewis:
“Everything that isn’t eternal is worthless in Eternity.”

“Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed.

In the bible are recorded approximately 30,000 promises that the Lord God Almighty has made. Each and every one of those promises will be kept.
