Work and Home

The concept of work has changed drastically over time. Before the industrial age your home life and your work was one. Most families would work from the home. For example many would have their homes above their businesses or those living on farms would work on their land. This gave opportunities for families to work together. Mom, dad and all the children would be together all day working. Work back then was not separate from the family, work involved the family.

During the industrial age work and family drafted. Fathers were now leaving the home to work 60 plus hours a week. This caused work and family life to completely separate. The focus in life is now to gain money and the idea of spending time with your family has diminished. This idea that money should be placed before spending time with your family is straight from Satan himself. This is his way of trying to tear apart the family, which has been successful.

Now families are focused on getting more money so both parents are working. This causes great separation in the family. The father, mother, and children now all are living separate lives until they come together after work and school. When there is separation like that it is hard to be close with one another.

We need to start prioritizing our lives. Realizing that time spent with your family is worth more than having some extra “play” money. It is important that we spend time with our families so that we can become closer and so that our children can learn from us and not from their peers.
