A Father’s Guidance

The morning news show was doing its usual reporting of non-news by giving us MORE information about Britney Spears today. It struck me a little different this time because I noticed she actually looked pretty healthy. The question being posed was whether or not she was happy under her father’s management.

What a text book example we have before us in Britney for the need to have discipline in our life. She has all the money and all the influence that she needs to accomplish any number of good deeds yet she has only recently returned from a path of sinful excess. Her health was bad and her fans turned away, a total loss of respect from anyone.

Now that she has some strict management from her father in control of her life, her youthful looks and her health are returning and she is being asked to do more performing and make more appearances. Why would the first question from the media be whether or not she was happy in this situation? Perhaps they are not happy to lose the great sensation stories they like to run on her.

In addition to our earthly parents, we have a heavenly father ready and able to guide us to a healthy happy life. (Matthew 6:25-34) He has given us numerous guidelines and commandments designed to get us through this earthly life in a happy and healthy manner. Let us be those that choose this path and not look to empty earthly “pleasures” that were not designed for our best interest.
