#777: Black Friday

Here’s a quiz question: The day after Thanksgiving is known as what? If you answered, “Black Friday,” you’re absolutely right. That’s when many stores advertise incredible sales—and people willingly gobble up the savings.Even though it’s nice to score a bargain, don’t let the commercialization of the holiday season distract you with all its gizmos and gadgets.In Luke 12:15, Jesus reminds us that “one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”That’s a tough lesson for boys to understand, especially when other kids flaunt the newest video game system or stylish clothes. But by focusing your son’s attention on Christ and helping him realize that “things” don’t guarantee happiness, the attraction of new, sparkly toys will soon fade away. Guide your son in becoming a godly man. For more information, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
