"God...made childhood joyous, full of life, bubbling over with laughter, playful, bright and sunny. We should put into their childhood days just as much sunshine and gladness, just as much cheerful pleasure as possible.
Pour in the sunshine about them in youth. Let them be happy, encourage all innocent joy, provide pleasant games for them, romp and play with them; be a child again among them. Then God's blessing will come upon your home, and your children will grow up sunny-hearted, gentle, affectionate, joyous themselves and joy-bearers to the world."
- Homemaking, Rev. JR Miller
Love this! So true! (Beautiful shots, too!)

"romp and play with them", i guess that is where I have gone wrong for they are not sunny hearted,gentle, affectionate or joyous themselves. Oh, to start over again or not at all.
