A Happy Family - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 loving husband
1 gentle wife
children (optional, but if included, must be kept in firm atmosphere to prevent spoilage)
1 pkg. of trust for each of previous ingredients
3 heaping c. patience
1 1/2 c. each of humility and forgiveness
generous dashes of work and play

Preparation

Prepare any size home container by lining it with one Bible for each part of the first 3 ingredients.
Place all ingredients before the Lord for supervision, then combine in a mixing bowl in order listed.
(Children may need occasional light whipping to avoid a lumpy mixture.)
Pour well mixed batter into the home container and bake in a regulated oven of adversity and happiness. Insert sword of truth in center to test for quality.
When sword comes out clean of bad feelings, though and actions, the family is ready for the sweet topping of the Lord's approval.
