It has also taught us the importance of being like Joseph, being good stewards over what the Father has provided and blessed us with and to have a store for the lean times.<br />We have learned to be content in all things and having lived with a lot and living with a little we can now do both. We practice a fragile, simple lifestyle, we refuse to ever live above our means, try to be as debt free as possible and we believe in and practice food storage. You can actually build your food storage for 5 dollars a month and it is good to do. If you hit hard times you will not have to worry about how you will feed your family and if you are in times of plenty you have extra to share with those who are not.<br />Having an emergancy savings fund is also a good lesson to learn.TonyRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17214450590122639537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640478045428002144.post-78352973876513354402009-09-21T23:29:39.029-04:002009-09-21T23:29:39.029-04:00I have learned to be grateful for what we have and...I have learned to be grateful for what we have and to thank God more often for our blessings. I'm watching what we buy more and finding inexpensive ways to have fun. When you have a large family, it's not easy, but we can make it with God's help.Divamomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17153588666449603929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640478045428002144.post-73975103568867639862009-09-21T13:52:23.432-04:002009-09-21T13:52:23.432-04:00I've learned that less is better and simplicit...I've learned that less is better and simplicity is valuable!LaSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207768089041907981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640478045428002144.post-79330145129976532692009-09-21T11:56:13.793-04:002009-09-21T11:56:13.793-04:00I have learned that I can be happy with pretty muc...I have learned that I can be happy with pretty much nothing. I have also learned how to repair lots of things that I might have just considered replacing. Who knew how easy it was to replace a fuse in a dvd player?

Things that I have started doing different is really paying attention to what I buy and how I shop. Really using my coupons(thanks to you) and praying more for guidance in EVERYTHING that we do as a family. T.ChampagneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
