In each point it explains how we can connect Individually, in the Family, as a Community, in Schools, for Older People, and in the Workplace.

I like the ideas this brings into light and gives some interesting points to look at. These ideas can help anyone stay in a good state of mind. It all comes down to a well balanced life, getting out there and taking small steps to better our own lives.

Priorities in our Life

Are your priorities in order.
The things we put first in our life, weather it is putting things off, procrastinating, doing things we want, our of selfish pride. not thinking of others, saying yes to please people even though inside we are grumbling about it, saying "why did I say yes, I don't have the time to do this I am too busy as it is". Here are some things to think about that may help you to put things in perspective.

First there are 4 types of love mentioned in the bible. they are in this order.
1. Love of God to man (God Love)
2. Love of husband and wife (marriage Love)
3. Love of parent and child (parent Love)
4. Love of friend (friendship Love)

also I have heard it said that in out lives we should put things in this order.
1. God: he should be number one in our life
2. Family: we are to look after our family providing for them, bringing up your children in Gods ways.
3. Others: after our families needs have been met. we are to help others out.
4. Self: this comes last, although we are to walk in Gods ways and seek to please him working to put away sin we are also not to do things for ourselves out of pride or for our own selfish reasons.
This is just my little thought for today, something for you to think about. Blessings to all.
