Welcome!

The Elliott Institute is dedicated to building better lives through better living, bringing sunshine to the soul and a smile to the face.

JESUS' greatest desire is for you and me to experience the best quality of life available through Him. He said, "I am come that you might have life...more abundantly"

Ask yourself...

1. Do I believe I can live a better life?

2. Do I believe I can improve my quality of living?

3. Do I believe I can enjoy every day of life no matter what the circumstances?

4. Do I believe that an abundant, stress-free, peace-filled life is possible?

5. Do I believe that joy and happiness are not mere words but can be an intricate part of daily living?

Before you answer the above questions, ask yourself these...

1. Does my faith in Jesus impact my life daily?

2. Does the Holy Spirit reside in my heart directing my daily path?

Abundant living is possible - with God's help you can improve your quality of living. 

Hugs Improve Our Qualtiy of Life

Do you realize that a hug a day keeps depression at bay? It's true. Psychologists tell us that for us to be "emotionally balanced" we need a minimum of three hugs a day. When a loved one or friend hugs us a unique sensation hits us; a feeling of warmth and a feeling of love. One of our greatest needs is to be loved. Whether we believe it or not, we seek to be loved every day by someone. If we fail to feel loved, our hearts respond with a feeling of loneliness and rejection. We think "no one cares for me". Thank God that you and I feel loved every day by a loving Heavenly Father who sincerely cares for us and loves us. The reason I am happy today? God hugs me every day. The love my wife and friends give me is icing on the cake. Improve your quality of life today. Hug someone. You will be happy and they will too.

Thought for the Day

Think deeply, speak gently, love much, laugh often, work hard, give freely, pray promptly, pray earnestly and be kind.
