Happy Home Atmosphere Promotes Health, June 10
Happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.
Psalm 144:15
.
A home where love dwells and where it finds expression in looks, in
words, in acts, is a place where angels delight to dwell....
Let the sunshine of love, cheer, and happy content enter your own
hearts, and let its sweet influence pervade the home.... The atmosphere thus
created will be to the children what air and sunshine are to the vegetable
world, promoting health and vigor of mind and body
Educate the soul to cheerfulness, to thankfulness, and to the expression
of gratitude to God for the great love wherewith He hath loved us....
Christian cheerfulness is the very beauty of holiness
While grief and anxiety cannot remedy a single evil, they can do great
harm; but cheerfulness and hope, while they brighten the pathway of
others, “are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
The mother should cultivate a cheerful, contented, happy disposition.
Every effort in this direction will be abundantly repaid in both the physical
well-being and the moral character of her children. A cheerful spirit will
promote the happiness of her family, and in a very great degree improve
her own health
The healthfulness of youth requires exercise, cheerfulness, and a happy,
pleasant atmosphere surrounding them, for the development of physical
health and symmetrical character
As children of the light, God would have us cultivate a cheerful, happy
spirit, that we may show forth the praises of Him who hath called us out
of darkness into His marvelous light
