and instruction of the Lord.(Ephesians 6:4)

(Colossians 3:20-21)

Psalm 127:1-5

Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it;

Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain.

It is vain for you to rise up early,To retire late, to eat the bread of painful labors;

For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep.Behold, children are a gift of the LORD,

The fruit of the womb is a reward.Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,

So are the children of one's youth.How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;

They will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
