“Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 11:7).
If we truly enjoy abundant health, we must realize the importance of having abundance of sunlight, pure air, and physical exercise in our daily life. Most of us spend too much time confined inside modern homes and air-conditioned building, and not enough time enjoying the untold benefits of exposure to the open air with its elixir-giving rewards of health and happiness.
When God made our world, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, He said, “Let there be light, and it was good…” (Genesis 1:3-4). Should we use so sparingly that which God has pronounced good? Can we even afford to exclude the precious sunlight from our own homes? We can make our homes so much more pleasant, warm and inviting by making them bright with abundant sunshine and fresh air. No room in our home should be considered completely furnished and adorned without the cheering, enlivening light of sunshine, the blessing which heaven has freely bestowed upon all of us that we might have a more abundant life, strength and health.
