Blessed are they who attain parenthood, for children are a heritage of the Lord.

Blessed are they who remember to thank God for their food before they partake of it, & who set apart some time each day for the reading of the Bible & for prayer.

Bless are those mates who never speak loudly to one another & who make their home a place where seldom is heard a discouraging word.
