"warm cookies row on row..."

I just love that line...here is where it is from. A poem selected out of ~ Family (Issue) Ideals.

Happy Homes
by Mabel Wilson

It takes such simple homey things

To hold a family together;

It's keeping home fires burning

Regardless of the weather.

It's keeping home life cheery

And a kitchen spick-and-span,

For these things do bring happiness

To children and to man.

The smell of luscious gingerbread,

Or warm cookies row on row,

Are but two familiar things

Our children ought to know.

Oft repeated prayers of thanks

For life's meat and bread,

Can sustain our restless hearts

And keep our minds well fed.

Love and peace and harmony,

And kind words daily spoken,

Are keys unlocking happy homes

With no hearts sad or broken.

Just thinking today, again, of how Blessed I am. That I have a Home to manage and little hearts to tend to and influence.  That I have a husband who can't wait to come HOME every night...
and tells me so, each day.

I'm grateful to God for his Sustaining Blessings, in my life... when so many are harried, hurting & homeless.

It hardly seems right.  Thinking of the many... in Haiti.

 But with mixed feelings, I hope to be making these today.
