We were watching a sitcom this week and the storyline involved a young lady going on an internship for the summer to New York City. Her boyfriend was wanting to come along to “keep her safe.”
Living arrangements notwithstanding, she decided to break the news that she didn’t want him coming along. Her reason? “I just think you would be a distraction while I’m trying to focus on my career.”
We seem to have it backwards. Earning a living is a means to an end. The end is the family and friends that God brings into our lives.
People are more important than things.
