We Had Everything But Money

Several years ago, I heard about a book, "We had everything but money." It had to do with life during the Great Depression. I dearly wanted this book, but couldn't find it anywhere. One day, I walked down the street to our town's historical museum. They were having a yard sale, which included donations to benefit the museum.



I saw a stack of books and began to look through them. Immediately, my heart soared with gratefulness! There was the book I had wanted for so long! It was only $2.00. I quickly bought it and have enjoyed reading it ever since.



What are the lessons I've learned from this treasure?



1. How to earn a small income from a variety of creative sources, using ingenuity and hard work.



2. How to survive on very little money.



3. Wholesome recreation and peaceful living.



4. How housewives lived their daily lives.



And much more.........



Because the economy is so bad right now, people really need this kind of information and encouragement. I recently looked up this book, for sale, used, through amazon. It was going for a whopping $45.00!!! I think it would be wonderful if the publisher would bring it back into print.

A Devotion on Holiness

"The Family of God - that is the Church's name. As such, He dwells in the midst of it, cares for it, and watches over it. His dealings with it are those of a father - fond yet strict - loving yet wise - sitting among His children, having His eye on each, and ordering His gracious wisdom all the concerns of His household."

- Horatius Bonar
