and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? — Matt 19:5 BSB

One of the best ways we can bless the world is by making our home sweet and happy. If we can create a small haven of happiness, we’ve contributed something valuable toward restoring the lost Paradise.

It starts with marriage. For something so sacred, the choice should be made carefully and wisely. Loyalty in marriage is essential for a happy home. "What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."

This teaching from Christ is often disregarded too easily. It is not God's will for any marriage to be broken. Marriage is meant to last until death.

Jesus loved little children, and they loved Him. When the disciples, in their misunderstanding, tried to keep the children away, thinking they were doing Jesus a favor, He rebuked them sharply. "Let the little children come to Me."

Since children are so precious to Christ, any home with little ones is especially dear to Him.
