What sacrifices have you made in life?
Life demands trade offs from us, and sacrifices are the currency. People give up hours to grind at the their jobs, instead of relaxing to chase goals like career success or personal growth. And comfort usually takes a hit. But survival always plays a role.
The Bible tells us “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat” (2 Thessalonians 3:10).
Parents sometimes skip on their dreams, hopes, and goals. Raising children, cleaning, cooking and laundry take the place of friends and they slowly fade into the background.
“We come to know that what appears today to be a sacrifice will prove instead to be the greatest investment we can ever make” -Gordon B. Hinckley
