There can be no genuine happiness separate and apart from the home.

The Lord is pleased with every effort, even the tiny, daily ones in which we strive to be more like Him.

Men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He can deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their soals, and pour out peace.

Essentially, pride is a 'my will' rather than 'thy will' approach to life.
