Family Priorities

Last week at our MOPS meeting, we discussed Family Priorities.
This list was in one of our books to use as a guide:
1. Personal Relationship with God. This is separate from church activities.
2. Marriage. Keep working at making this relationship better.
3. Children. Be intentional about balancing activities. Focus on playing as well as training.
4. Home management and job. Home life is more effectively balanced when mom and dad work together to keep the home running smoothly and the bills paid.
5. Ministry. After all the above priorities are managed successfully and if there is any time or energy left, then outside ministry or volunteer work is an option.

We each made our priority list and shared if we were comfortable. Obvioulsy, balance is important- too much of one doesn't leave enough time for another....
