Don't you wish that money would just grow on trees? Wouldn't it be great if you had a money tree in your backyard and you could just take what you need daily, and it would continue to grow and grow? 
But the reality is that most of us have to work to bring home the dough. So how do we strike a balance?

Some weeks ago, Pastor Daniel spoke on the 4th Commandment - keeping the Sabbath. One thing he said remains vividly etched in my mind.
We spend all our health to gain wealth.
And then we spend all our wealth to regain our health.
Is this true for you?
Do you tell yourself that you need to work hard now so that you can provide for your children? Truth is, they need your presence (not your presents!), your time, your hugs and kisses right NOW. Not when they are grown-up, independent and have not time for you.
Are you working hard so that you can have a comfortable retirement? What if you don't live to retire?
Are you working so much that you have no time to eat well and exercise?
Nobody on their deathbed has ever said that they wished they had spent more time at work. Instead, they regret not having spent more time with loved ones. By all means, work. But remember to strike a balance.
Live now. Love now.
