God has taken care of our family in spite of it all... even during 4 months with no income from work or the government. God took care of us through his people, finding bargains, going without some things we didn't need, and trusting Him through it all.<br /><br />Be blessed dear one.<br />Mrs. Laura Lane<br />Carthage, Missouri<br />Just at the edge of the OzarksMrs. Laura Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17334381585683324912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-24363526326354944452012-06-13T12:34:43.625-04:002012-06-13T12:34:43.625-04:00I just found your blog, and I am enjoying your pos...I just found your blog, and I am enjoying your posts.

I will be doing this and putting money away for the summer as 2 of my 4 girls will need some summer clothes. This is not to mention other things that will come along that we will need. My husband has all the control of the finances but with what he gives me when he can I need to be saving. I "want" not need 2 or 4 (so when two are in the wash) hand towels for our bathroom and I want 2 for the girls bathroom. Maybe as I put a little aside and save up I can do one at a time. You make me smile!<br />Blessings!!

When you also add in herbs and vitamins to help keep the family healthy, in can be a real challenge for a large family.<br /><br />The most important preparation I feel we can make, though, is to focus on our relationship with the Lord. If I make all the preparations, lay up enough food, get enough wood stacked, get enough warm clothing for a good price, but in the process neglect nurturing our relationship with Him, then I have failed the most important preparation!<br /><br />It's not an either/or, of course, but I had to reign myself in as first of all, I also don't have the funds to put back lots and lots of food, and secondly, my thoughts were more consumed with my physical preparations than seeking Him!<br /><br />Proverbs 16:3 spoke to me again, yesterday. I need to commit my works to Him, then He helps my thoughts get established so I prepare out of guidance from Him and not my fearful, fretful heart!<br /><br />Good thoughts in your post, especially #4!<br /><br />Blessings!<br /><br />Trisch7Sistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05133504465887583157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-36430640457736692092009-07-13T17:10:19.935-04:002009-07-13T17:10:19.935-04:00AMEN.
