Home Can Be a Heaven on Earth

we sang this song in relief society today. just before it started i leaned over to eva and said it was dedicated to her future family. :) there was a sweet spirit that filled the room as we sang it...the same feeling i get when i sing Love at Home.

after it was pau she asked me if its really true--if Home really can be a heaven on earth. and there was no doubt in my mind that it was. Home really can be a heaven on earth. i know it. i know it.

one day i want to create my own Home, with my own family, and i want it to be a heaven on earth. i know its possible...i just have to make it happen! :)

Home can be a heav’n on earth

When we are filled with love,

Bringing happiness and joy,

Rich blessings from above—

Warmth and kindness, charity,

Safety and security—

Making home a part of heaven,

Where we want to be.

Drawing fam’ly near each week,

We’ll keep love burning bright.

Serving Him with cheerful hearts,

We’ll grow in truth and light.

Parents teach and lead the way,

Children honor and obey,

Reaching for our home in heaven,

Where we want to stay.

Praying daily in our home,

We’ll feel His love divine;

Searching scriptures faithfully,

We’ll nourish heart and mind.

Singing hymns of thanks, we’ll say,

“Father, help us find the way

Leading to our home in heaven,

Where we long to stay.”
