The atmosphere at home
The atmosphere at home is more important than anything in it. The four walls are like the ‘frame’, the people inside are the actors, the atmosphere is the foundation.
There are big and beautiful homes full of all good, but when we enter them we feel uncomfortable. The atmosphere in them is sad and lifeless. There are humble homes, about to fall, but the moment we enter them we feel a joyful, happy, and energetic atmosphere.
What kind of atmosphere should we create?
Just like a person’s soul consists of many feelings, so too the atmosphere that we need to create in our home consists of many things that generate those feelings in the family members.
One of the most important things for a family is its unity. We need to create an atmosphere of respect and love for each other, an atmosphere of considering one another.
We need to create an atmosphere of genuine joy and energy.
An atmosphere of holiness, of fear of Heaven, and of faith and trust in God.
There are many other values that it is worthwhile to adopt at home and to create the appropriate atmosphere, only a few of them have been mentioned here.
How do you create an atmosphere? See page 11.
