Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. Proverbs 16:24

Kind, cheerful, encouraging words will prove more effective than the most healing medicines. These will bring courage to the heart of the desponding and discouraged, and the happiness and sunshine brought into the family by kind acts and encouraging words will repay the effort tenfold. The husband should remember that much of the burden of training his children rests upon the mother, that she has much to do with molding their minds. This should call into exercise his tenderest feelings, and with care should he lighten her burdens. He should encourage her to lean upon his large affections and direct her mind to heaven, where there is strength and peace and a final rest for the weary.

His kindness and loving courtesy will be to her a precious encouragement, and the happiness he imparts will bring joy and peace to his own heart.

The sweetest type of heaven is a home where the Spirit of the Lord presides.... Anything that would mar the peace and unity of the family should be firmly repressed, and kindness and love should be cherished.

Home should be a place where cheerfulness, courtesy, and love abide; and where these graces dwell, there will abide happiness and peace.

Those who are fighting the battle of life at great odds may be refreshed and strengthened and encouraged by little attentions which cost nothing. Kindly words simply spoken, little attentions simply bestowed, will sweep away the clouds of temptation which gather over the horizon of the soul.

Contrite and Lowly in Spirit

For thus says the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. — Isaiah 57:15 | New Messianic Version (NMV) The New Messianic Version Bible © 2000-2018 TOV Rose.

Of course he'd probably thought about it but he couldn't remember. Maybe information wasn't all that important to him. He didn't watch television programming. He didn't read newspaper columns. He didn't even watch news broadcasts. It did shock him to see how much money the most influential musicians of westernised society had earned. It was historic. Capitalism had certainly paid them sufficiently for their repeating influence upon the perceptions of people and conscious thought. It would take a great deal of time for the main hubs of society to recover from the effect such methodology had had upon them.
