Family Ties

I came across this article on Yahoo! and found it to be quite an interesting read.

The article's main point was that people between the ages of 13-24 base much of their happiness off of their relationship with their family. This is interesting because many of the things that supposed offer happiness, such as money, were shown according to the poll not to be a basis for happiness of young people.

This study only furthers the need for Godly men and women to raise good families whose center is built upon the gospel. While I do not know much about being a parent I hope that parents can teach their kids to place the Lord first in their lives and have them look to God for their acceptance and that parental acceptance would not become such a huge idol in teenagers lives as it has been in mine.
