Family and Friends Are More Important Than Money

I think that even though we may understand that family is more important than money our actions don’t always show that we believe it. If we live a life that is focussed on money and don’t recognize that our families are really much more important than money, we might live a life that is unfulfilled. Chasing the dollar is not a reason for living.

The importance of money varies from household to household but for the most part I think most can say that money is not what brings happiness. It is true that some families are truly suffering because of the lack of money but I don’t think that the money itself is what should be sought. Our families and friends can bring us much more fulfillment than money could ever. God did not design us to find long term satisfaction in anything other than Him but I think relationships with people are a close second.

Money and power give temparary comfort and satisfaction. This is why so many people with money and/or power strive to get more. There is never enough money or power for those that seek it. Relationships however are lasting. A good friend, a child, a mother or a sibling can give your life meaning and satisfaction.

I for one don’t want to let my money troubles take the focus off of what really matters in life which is my family and friendship. I hope you don’t either ;)
