Every sabbath day Aaron shall set them in order before the LORD regularly as a commitment of the people of Israel, as a covenant forever.
(Leviticus 24.8 NRSV)
R. W. Dale, a shy, sensitive man was among the greatest preachers of his own or any time. Yet he found himself the target of bitter hostility, hated for saying what he believed. And one day somebody asked him how he managed to survive. Dale replied very simply, "I am happy at home."

It is said that when Thomas Hardy died, his heart was removed from his body. His body was buried with honors in Westminster Abbey, but his heart rests beneath his parish churchyard next to his wife.

Are you happy at home? Many marriages today are in trouble. The only course that can see a couple through the vicissitudes of marriage is the absolute determination that there is no alternative.

Commitment!

Dear God, you are committed to me. Help me to also be committed. Amen.
