Remedy for Discord in the Home

Once upon a time many years ago, I found a copy of *BEAUTIFUL HOMEMAKING* by Charlene Johnson in a Thrift shop and when browsing through it recently, found this excellent quote:

DISEASE:
Quarrels, bickering,
harsh and cutting words, tears.


REMEDY:
Place family on its knees,

set the open Bible before Dad's knees,
cover all wounds with much prayer,
lean fully upon the Great Physician.

Repeat this treatment daily,
adding family worship, Sunday school,
picnics, laughter, and lots of love and patience.


~ Charlene Johnson ~

Blessings,
