First Christian Voices: Practices of the Apostolic Fathers

That we should join ourselves with those who fear the Lord, those who meditate in their heart on the commandment which they have received, those who both utter the judgments of the Lord and observe them, those who know that meditation is a work of gladness and who ruminate on the word of the Lord. ~ Barnabas 10

For Lydia, our first daughter-in-law (and our other children as well).

He desired to lead us to trust in His goodness and to consider Him our Nurse, Father, Teacher, Counselor, Healer, our Wisdom, Light,

Honor, Glory, Power, and Life, so that we should not be anxious concerning clothing and food. ~ To Diognetus
