"Accompany me today, O Spirit invisible, in all my goings, but stay with me also when I am with my own home and among my kindred. Forbid that I should fail to show to those nearest to me the sympathy and consideration which thy grace enables me to show to others with whom I have to do. Forbid that I should refuse to my own household the courtesy and politeness which I think proper to show to strangers. Let charity today begin at home."
Twenty-First Day Morning in A Diary of Private Prayer by John Baillie
"Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action."
