EXAMPLE

Be very mindful of the example you are setting for your kids. While it may be OK with God for you to have an expensive car or expansive wardrobe, what do your kids, who are less mature, see? They may see someone indulging himself or herself with the world's idea of treasure. Consider the lesson you may be indirectly teaching your children and then make the decision to buy or not. Are you building up or tearing down? Your kids are developing a value system by watching you.

Everything you acquire is an example of your real value system to your children. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be.
