It doesn’t look like I’m going to make it by the end of February (silly me trying to do it in a short month), but by early next week, I will have read straight through Proverbs for the first time in over a decade. So here we are in chapter 23<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Do not wear yourself out to become rich;be wise enough to restrain yourself. <\/em>(23:4<\/a>)<\/p>\n

This is the same man who pounds on lazy people for not working hard enough. Now he says to not work too hard. There is a balance between working hard for your wages and being a “workaholic”.<\/p>\n

Working some overtime short-term to save money quickly or to pay off a debt is a great idea. \u0628\u064a\u0646\u062c\u0648 \u0644\u0639\u0628\u0629<\/a> But working overtime forever is foolish, because it takes you away from what really matters – family and friends. And without those important relationships, the wealth you earn will be of little value. 1xbet \u0639\u0631\u0628\u064a<\/a> <\/p>\n

My child, if your heart is wise, then my heart also will be glad; my soul will rejoice when your lips speak what is right. \u0643\u064a\u0641 \u064a\u0644\u0639\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0648\u0643\u0631<\/a> <\/em> (23:15-16<\/a>)<\/p>\n

This is the prayer of every good dad. There is nothing that makes a man more proud than to see his son or daughter make the wise choice. That’s why we use the 252Basics curriculum<\/a> in our OTCC Tree House Kids<\/a> program. Our goal is to partner with our families so that the kids will grow up and make their parents – and their Heavenly Father – proud of them.<\/p>\n

There’s nothing a kid likes to hear as much as, “Well done, good job!” And those are the words of a proud parent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
