If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Galatians 5:25
Greetings brothers and sisters....this devotional by JR Miller written around 1882 really challenged me to think of Christian living within the family setting
May it do the same for others reading it too

An ideal Christian home ought to be a place where love rules.
It ought to be beautiful, bright, joyous, full of tenderness and affection, a place in which all are growing happier and holier each day.
There should never be any discord, any wrangling, any angry words or bitter feelings.
The home-life should be a harmonious song without one marring note, day after day.
The home, no matter how humble it is, how plain, how small—should be the dearest spot on the earth to each member of the family.
It should be made so happy a place, and so full of life, that no matter where one may wander in after years, in any of the ends of the earth—
his home should still hold its invisible cords of influence about him, and should ever draw resistless upon his heart.
It ought to be the one spot in all the earth, to which he would turn first, when in trouble or in danger. It should be his refuge, in every trial and grief.
J R Miller 1882
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another
Galatians 5:22-26
