Sunlight in the Home
If you would have your homes sweet and inviting, make them
bright with air and sunshine. Remove your heavy curtains, open the
windows, throw back the blinds, and enjoy the rich sunlight, even if it
be at the expense of the colors of your carpets. The precious sunlight
may fade your carpets, but it will give a healthful color to the cheeks of
your children. If you have God’s presence and possess earnest, loving
hearts, a humble home, made bright with air and sunlight, and cheerful
with the welcome of unselfish hospitality, will be to your family and
to the weary traveler a heaven below.—
