Standard of Living Standard of Family

Posted by Benjamin On April - 25 - 2010

To a family, provision is many things. Of the many, the intentionality between standard of living and standard of family is important, for they are not the same. Neglecting family in favor of more work hours that increase wealth which is then claimed as benefit for the family is a lie. I’m not here referring to temporary situations that demand sacrifice in order to make ends meet, I refer instead to a deliberate casting off of family in the pursuit of monies far above and beyond necessity. Put this way, if one had to choose between the reckless pursuit of one or the other, would it not be more honorable to recklessly provide yourself to your family than to an office?
