There are many things we went without. Time with our kids and a very close family not among them. My kids are almost grown but again, no regrets.

Bolded statement above.....PRICELESS!!!

That's true J.

I'm not where you are financially but God is good. The church we planted is completely self-sufficient financially and our finances have really began to flourish in the past couple of years.

PeePee,

Love the thread and the posts are inspiring. Like you my wife and I chose living with a lower standard of living when raising our children so that she could be a stay at home mom for them. The few times she had a part time job it was scheduled so that she was only away when the kids were at school.

We didn't have the fine home and many of the luxuries our peers had but they had those things usually at the expense of the mom being a full time mom.

I always made decent money, often times more than my peers but most of them had wives working and when you added both incomes together it surpassed miine by enough to alter one's lifestyle.

PeePee,

I forgot to add such a shame your sister is worshipping "another God" (LOL)

That's why I rarely get into theology on AFF. I've argued all of this stuff for years. She is a certified Bapticostal.

But your arguments on MOW's tritheism thread are really good. You should get involved more often.

What's a Bapticostal?
