Our Primary Responsibilities and Roles

Reading through a book, I came across this verse. 

"They [my brothers] made me caretaker of the vineyards,

But I have not taken care of my own vineyard."

Song of Solomon 1:6b

It was cited within a chapter focused on home and family life.  The author was trying to impress upon readers that God's primary roles for our lives are in our homes and with our families, and if we neglect them, we have neglected God's greatest work for us.

Today, I am pondering these words and reflecting on my own roles and use of time.
