I read something the other day that has really stuck with me. "Before, people were created to be loved and things were used. Now a days, things are loved and people are used."
The world loves (worships) money (and all it buys: i.e. status). If you are a stay at home mom, a home schooling mom, taking care of a disabled person or your aging parents/in-laws, or if you yourself is disabled...you are not valued. Is that all you do? You are viewed as not contributing to society, because the people you are caring for are not valued.
It is hard to live in this world, without living in it. Does that make sense? It is hard to make your way in this crazy world without getting caught up in the craziness. My friend and former Sunday school teacher called it: living above the line. Living according to what God finds worthy, not what society is chasing at the moment.
