02/13/17 IT IS BETTER

As parents we are given the responsibility to give our children, “that which is better,” rather than, “that which is good.”

CONSIDER THIS

* A house is good, but a home (regardless the cost or accommodations) is better.

* Activities are good, but relationships are better.

* Sumptuous meals are good, but peace at the table is better. * "Friends" are good, but family is better.

* Goals are good, but encouragement is better.

* Achievement is good, but attitude is better.

* Excitement is good, but self control is better.

* Morality is good, but righteousness is better.

* Determination is good, but personal disciplined thinking is better.

* Bold confrontation is good, but compassionate counselling is better.

* Facts are good, but Biblical faith is better.

* Sacrifice is good, but perfect love is better.
