I now have four adults in the world, one married and still raising two at home. It hasn't been easy, we never had regular vacations, only bought used cars and I have never been to the spa or recent clothes.<br /><br />I would still do it all over again, but I am not sure if my adult children will. The world is a big pull and financial security isn't what it was when my Dad raised us.<br /><br />I have more than one friend who has found herself needing to support their family after over 25 years of being a stay at home mom because her husband lost his job.<br /><br />It is a hard economy, but it can be done, just with a lot of sacrifices. If we put God in the center of our home than He alone will guide us and bring back the foundation we all need to build on.<br /><br />Great post.Janettessage.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262598732466380229noreply@blogger.com
