A House Blessing

I found such a sweet plaque at the thrift shop yesterday.

It only cost twenty-six cents, but as soon as I saw it, I knew it was a treasure for our little family. It’s a poem written by Arthur Guiterman, and I absolutely love the words:

“God bless the corners of this house,
And be the lintel blest;
And bless the hearth and bless the board
And bless each place of rest;
And bless each door that opens wide
To stranger as to kin;
And bless each crystal window pane
That lets the starlight in;
And bless the rooftree overhead
And every sturdy wall;
The peace of man, the peace of God,
The peace of love on all.”

Blessings to you, sweet friends.
