Counsels on Health - Ellen G. White

sweet is rest after a proper amount of labor. Sleep,
nature’s sweet restorer, invigorates the weary body
and prepares it for the next day’s duties. Do not
intimate to your children that it is no matter
whether they labor or not. Teach them that their
help is needed, that their time is of value, and that
you depend on their labor.
Unwholesome Bread
When I have been from home sometimes, I
have known that the bread upon the table, and the
food generally, would hurt me; but I would be
obliged to eat a little to sustain life. It is a sin in the
sight of heaven to have such food. I have suffered
for want of proper food. For a dyspeptic stomach,
you may place upon your tables fruits of different
kinds, but not too many at one meal. In this way
you may have a variety, and it will taste good, and
after you have eaten your meals, you will feel
well.—Testimonies for the Church 2:373 (1869).
