God chose Abraham
to pass down to his seed,
the knowledge of the ways of God,
their most vital need.

Although the words He spoke
were part of pointing to the Way,
the clearest lesson he could give
was how he lived his life each day.

God designed the family
with so much more in mind,
than practical particulars
or simply ties that bind

A family is, in essence,
a woman and a man
in the covenant of marriage,
a part of God�s great plan.

Then God provides a child
and quickly add two more
along with wings of grace,
to help with what�s in store.
 

So stretch your wings and follow Him
in unity fly high
your little ones are watching
they will join you by and by.
 

Allowing God to bless you
with what are truly treasures,
a life of truth and joy and love
satisfaction without measure.
