Choosing To Have No Regrets
Choosing To Have No Regrets
Jun 04Why is it important to strive for a godly family? All around us we see broken lives … many broken at the hands of family. Not even the extreme cases of pain, such as abuse, but even the mild cases of children and teens whose parents have placed their own needs above the good of the family. Although our children will not know how to verbalize it, what they really want and need is involved parents and a strong family unit. They want our time and a relationship. They want to know that they are loved and valued unconditionally. So many parents today are putting the pursuit of the “American Dream” above the needs of their children. Many think that once they get that house, promotion or enough in savings, they can stop and spend more time at home. But we can’t go back and make up for lost experiences. A child only lives each day once. Do not miss out on your children’s lives because you will not get a do over with them. Take advantage of this summer by putting the pursuit of family first. This is a hard thing to focus on especially in today’s economy. Fast forward and imagine you are sitting at your child’s graduation. With your current lifestyle, what do you think you will wish you had done with your children? Make the course correction now so you sit at their graduation with few or no regrets. God will provide and protect us but it is our job to have our priorities in place!
