Parents and Wealth
I just got done watching Cheaper by the Dozen. Great movie...I've seen it once before. But I got to thinking towards the end when he quit his job saying he couldn't be a good father if he chose his old dream and thus, he had a new one. How does money truly affect your parenting. Can you be a good parent in that much wealth? Not saying there aren't some parents that can't do it. But I feel that with not having much money as my job will mean for me, it is a slight blessing. Though times will be hard, my children will appreciate things more. And I will be able to have more time for my family rather than having to put my career first because others are commanding me to do so. Though I dream of helping young women and families, my ultimate dream is to take care of my own family. Often, those that have positions that involve not only wealth, but even more importantly, strong powers above them, have to sacrifice much of their personal life for that of a career life. I am so blessed that for my family, I will be able to have a lot of control over the time that I spend with them. My family is something that I dream of. I can only imagine holding my little ones in my arms and being there each day for them as they grow. Thank you Lord for making me appreciate the greatness and blessing it has been to not be handed my every want and need. For teaching me to appreciate love and support as the most important part of life.
