DON'T SACRIFICE YOUR FAMILY!

"Thy WIFE shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy CHILDREN like olive plants round about thy TABLE". Psalms 128:3. Yes, it's dinner time at the house. Parents and children are communicating. Sometimes Dad and Mom, you can be in the house, but ABSENT. Hello? Christians, especially the "deeply committed" variety, DON'T NEGLECT your family. The insidious thing about overabundance of righteous activities is that you can neglect your family and feel extremely pious all the time you're doing it. After all, it's God's work. On the other hand, many workaholic parents have convinced themselves that they are sacrificing for the future of their families, but the plain truth is: that is SELFISHNESS. O yeah? yes, yes. The workaholic labors because his or her work meets their own needs; whether he or she knows it or not, he or she is meeting those needs at the EXPENSE of their family. Ouch..OUCH! STOOOP it.
