Love Of The World

"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world,
love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of
the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from
the Father but from the world." 1 John 2:15-16

Is there a more important lesson we can teach our children? Pursuit of material things never satisfies and it never ends. God has much more for us than the things we desire here on earth, yet we often live in a way our kids cannot see that truth. They see us striving and stressing because we have one thing, but want another more. They see us comparing ourselves to others. Sadly, they may even see us comparing them to other kids, and pushing them to be "successful" in school, athletics, and relationships.

Is love of the "things in the world" your example to your kids? How can you better demonstrate a love of spiritual things?
God Bless
