In an ideal Christian family....
Christ is given first place.
Happiness prevails.
Rejoicing is heard instead of complaints.
Interruptions don't destroy family peace.
Storms strengthen a family's love.
Tears and disappointments are shared openly.
In difficult times, everyone is drawn closer to God.
A visitor always feels welcome.
Needs of others come before our own needs.
Fussing is not heard.
A time of separation does not sever strong family ties.
Money is kept in proper perspective.
Interest is shown equally in every family member.
Love covers the faults in others.
Young people respect and obey their parents.

Very sweet! :)
I'm not really one for Acrostics (had a pastor who used the poor things to death) this one I hearted though - especially the love covering faults part. Thank you for this, I really enjoyed it. God Bless and keep you and all of yours Michelle.
It does sound ideal, doesn't it!!
I came back to read more stuff - and I know that I know that I know - that I commented on this post - about how I don't normally like acrostics much - but LOVED this one. I know I did - but as I come back to read more o your stuff - I find it isn't here - darn. Anyway - I heart it. God bless and keep you and yours Michelle.
