"Do not neglect to teach your children how to prepare healthful food. In giving them these lessons in physiology and in good cooking, you are giving them the first steps in some of the most useful branches of education, and inculcating principles which are needful elements in a religious education. CE 174.1"
"She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness."
Both passages emphasize the importance of diligence and care within the household. Proverbs 31:27 speaks of a woman's attentiveness to her household's needs, while the EGW quote focuses on teaching children practical skills like cooking, which contributes to a healthy and well-managed home. The connection is thematic, focusing on the value of domestic responsibility.
