Family

A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

Heaven

There is a land where everlasting sun shed everlasting brightness;  where  the soul  drinks from the living streams of love that roll by God's high throne!—myriads of glorious ones bring their acepted offering. Oh! how blest to look from this dark prison to that shrine, to inhale one breath of Paradise divine, and enter into  that eternal rest which waits the sons of God!
