I am working constantly and my family gets whatever is left over. How do I change this before my kids are grown?

“And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die. Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.”

Jacob is finally reunited with Esau, who wants them to travel on together at his own pace. Jacob declines, and he explains why: the children are young and the flocks are nursing, and if they are driven hard for even one day they will not survive it. He says he will move at whatever pace the children can bear. It is a small logistical detail and it is also an entire philosophy of fatherhood.

“And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.”

Jesus says this immediately after refusing to arbitrate an inheritance dispute between two brothers. He does not settle which of them was right; he names what is driving both of them instead. The warning is that a life can be measured by the wrong quantity for years without the person noticing. Provision is a genuine duty. It stops being provision when it becomes the whole account.
