Family Fragrance/Environment
The environment of the home is critical to establishing an atmosphere of love and acceptance where your values and beliefs can be taught and caught. For, each of us is a product of the environment in which we were raised. Each parent should ask himself or herself, Joshua 24:15 “as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord!”. Does the atmosphere of your home glorify God in your relationships and actions?”. Parents need to create an environment of love and acceptance by focusing on their A.R.O.M.A. (Affection, Respect, Order, Merriment, and Affirmation).
