Out of Bounds
I like adverts because …
they sometimes speak to real life issues.
Take a look at this one.
(this is not an endorsement of the product)
Ridiculous but unfortunately true for some people. Why? because it’s easy to have ’no go’ areas in your life.
It can be your car, your kitchen, your sneakers, your recliner or even your Christian music collection. You protect these things with a passion and, like in the video, sometimes act in ways that confuse onlookers and seem trivial to loved ones.
It doesn’t mean you are a bad person because, more often than not, you may be the most helpful person in other areas – you provide for your family, you meet your responsibilities etc etc.
The issue here is one of balance and perspective.
It’s important to value the ‘relationships’ you have more than the ‘things’ in your life. There’s no point in giving your kids a nicely decorated home and good food only to scream and shout at them because they spilt a drink on the carpet. A loveless home may drive them away from you.
Most of the ‘things’ you have will not endure … you may change the carpet in 5 years time; Relationships can last a lifetime but one event could ruin everything forever.
Its important to identify areas in your life where you have such issues and try to strike the right balance. It will require open and honest discussions with those in your life and everyone will have to make some adjustments.
You will need wisdom and understanding and guess what … God gives wisdom to anyone who asks.
Go get it and be blessed.

This is for my wife and the women of the world.
God sees all you do and He will reward you openly.
Be blessed.
