Pro 15:17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
How easy it is for us to get our priorities mixed up. Too often we strive to obtain things, to get ahead, to accumulate money, to live the good life. However, these are not the things that really make life good and pleasant. What makes life good and pleasant is the warmth and security of being loved, the joy of an atmosphere of love. It is better to have fewer of the finer things of life and enjoy love, than to live the “good life” and contend with bitterness and ill will. Let us strive for the best life, to show love, to promote love, to build those things that make life truly good.
