SCRIPTURES


 Blessed is every one who fears the Lord,


Who walks in His ways.


When you eat the labor of your hands,


You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.


Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine


In the very heart of your house,


Your children like olive plants


All around your table.

Who fears the Lord. Psalm 128:1-4 NKJV

multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over
