Psalm 128:1-2, 3, 4-5 Blessed are those who fear the Lord.

Blessed are you who fear the LORD, who walk in his ways! For you shall eat the fruit of your handiwork; blessed shall you be, and favored. Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the recesses of your home; Your children like olive plants around your table. Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD. The LORD bless you from Zion: may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

Bible This psalmist wrote that a good family is a reward for following God. Chances are you raised your family in the best way possible. You gave them love, you were of service to them, you showed them honesty, integrity, and taught them to pray. These help all relationships. They are especially vital to the home life. Reading the Bible as a family may be a good way to lead the family to God. Maybe things didn’t turn out as you expected but God knows you gave it your best effort.
