Precious Family Relationships
David O. McKay, past president of a large international Christian Church said, “No other success can compensate for failure in the home.” This is true. You should place a high priority on your family relationships, even at the expense of other things that may seem just as desirable.
Ben recently went through a divorce, separating him from his wife and three small children. When asked why, he responded.
“I forgot what was most important. I was so focused on making money, on getting the big house, nice car, and building my career, I forgot where my real treasure was. Now I’ve lost it, and all the other things seem small in comparison.”
When asked what advice he’d give, he said.
“For me, it’s too late. It took too long to realize what I was missing. For others, just tell them not to neglect their family for any reason. It’s too important. Nothing is worth losing your family over!”
Your family relationships can’t be measured in terms of monetary value, but each member is priceless. If you’re successful in your home, then you’re more successful than most. You may not have fame or fortune, but the joy you have with your family will more than compensate.
Now if, in your opinion, you’ve already failed in this area, don’t give up hope. Begin from where you are now and start giving your family the attention they deserve. It doesn’t help to dwell on past mistakes. Your attention should be focused towards the present and future in giving your family the love, attention and support they need. If you’ve made mistakes, strive for forgiveness, and start moving forward.
