HOW IS IT?



You who are loudly crying out for peace,
You who are wanting love to vanquish hate,
How is it in the four walls of your home
The while you wait?

Do those who form your household welcome your approach in the
morning
As the earth welcomes the presence of dawn,
Or do they dread your coming lest you censure and complain?
Do you begin the day with praise to God for each blessing you
possess, and do you speak frequent words of commendation to those
about you?
Do those you claim to love often hear you talking in love's
language,
Or is your softest tone and your sweetest speech saved for the
sometime guest,
While the harsh voice and the sharp retort are used with those you
love the best?

You who are praying for the Christ's return
And for the coming of the Promised Day,
How is it in the four walls of your home
The while you pray?

Are you trying to make your home a reflection of what you believe
heaven will be?
