Home should be made all that the word implies. It shoulf be a little heaven upon earth, a place where the affections are cultivated instead of being studiously repressed. Our happiness depends upon this cultivation of love, sympathy, and true courtesy to one another.

The sweetest type of heaven is a home where the Spirit of the Lord presides. If the will of God is fulfilled, the husband and wife will respect each other and cultivate love and confidence.

– Signs of the Times, Ellen White, June 20, 1911

    I enjoy reading Ellen G. White’ writings. I have an older copy of Counsels on Health I want to reread before I start the New Year of 2010. She has so much wisdom and insight even though most of her stuff was written well over 100 years ago :-)
