The one thing I forgot to add to the audio recording is that I say “no” to almost any commitment outside our current responsibilities.
Maybe my saying “no” to many things makes it seem like I’m busier than I am. Maybe not.
The reality is that if I say “yes” to anything else our marriage, family, and businesses suffer. That is the current cost of overextending and it’s not worth it in this stage of our life.
The things I’m saying “no” to are often great opportunities but not beneficial for our family.
1 Corinthians 10:23 Amplified Bible (AMP)
All things are lawful [that is, morally legitimate, permissible], but not all things are beneficial or advantageous. All things are lawful, but not all things are constructive [to character] and edifying [to spiritual life].
