Goals vs. Desires

I don't know about you, but there seem to be a LOT of things in family life that generate frustration and anger.

This blog post, by pastor Bruce Johnson, is worth reading, and re-reading.

Johnson points out that we get frustrated and angry when we make our desires into goals. But many of our desires can't be goals, because we cannot control everything. Only make a goal of something that you can completely control. Allow the rest to be desires.
