Home may be the brightest, most cheerful and happy place on the earth, or it may be directly the opposite. Men toil to make it the grandest of all institutions, and women strive to beautify it and make it the most attractive; while all can contribute to its joys and happiness, there is no concealing the fact, that God must be the center of the home. A woman's duty is to embellish and to make the home tasteful and cozy. If a woman dedicates herself to such, joy will fill her life as she seeks God's wisdom to make her home, a place of peace in a world of turmoil. If a woman desires and cares for this earthly kingdom of comfort and blessedness for her family, she has done what God intended in giving her a husband and family, as well as a home.

To be loved is the instinctive desire of every human heart. To be loved by God and family and friends is a great desire. To be respected, to be honored, to be successful, is the ambition of all. Our constant desire to be happy: this never-varying instinct lies at the foundation of every heart. Yet, these desires apart from Christ Jesus, as the supreme head of the home, will never fully be realized. These true and real desires are only fully met in the order that God has established, for the family. This divine order given by God, husband, wife, and then children, should remain always in the home. Any breech in this God given order invites trouble, discord, and pain.

We toil for acquisition of wealth, for position and place, for social and political distinction, which brings a form of happiness. And when all is obtained, the real enjoyment, is it there? Once again, apart from Christ who is the giver of all good and perfect gifts, if HE is not acknowledged and a part of ones life, emptiness is equally found amidst all the acquisitions.

In reality, it need not take much to make a house a home. To help one feel fulfilled as husband, wife, or father, or mother. It is not so much the positions or the achievements as it is the TRUTH of God's own Son. The truth is that God alone is the giver of all these wonderful blessings that we so desire. Let us seek Jesus to be the Lord of our lives. Not to just receive but to give the BEST, to our family and love ones. Through Him, we will find joy, peace and harmony of home that only reigns in the homes, of God's children

The golden rule should be our constant guide, " To do unto others as ye would that they should do unto you." By faithful observation of this rule we find harmony, satisfaction and happiness; the love of God and acts of kindly feeling extended to us. Which create in us a desire to strew the pathway of others with roses and make life all sunshine as the Holy Spirit imparts and fills our lives.
