4. Lesson:
Everyday we make exchanges. We exchange time with
God for time watching our favorite TV show or for
study time. We choose time with one friend over time
with another.

6. The difficulty lies in the fact that we often have
difficulty choosing what is good and what is best. We
are often confused about the comparative worth of
different things or are unable to see which is most
valuable.

7. Yet in every decision we make, we make our choices
based upon what is worth the most to us – the
acceptance of friends, enjoyment, entertainment,
good marks in school, pleasing God.
