The Family Fireside

Thursday. Eph. 3: 14-19.

The Church is God’s family. It’s a school to learn and teach in, a hospital to get well in, a home to rest in — mind and body and spirit. It’s a workshop to be busy in, doing the needful things. Above all, it’s the Father’s house, where the members of the family gather and look up into his face and bring grateful tokens of their love. All God’s children should delight in helping the family life.
