But choice, having left all, i lived in a church doing ministry full time w/ no pay, and sometimes we had no food but salt and pepper, but God would provide something. A casserole would be dumped into a lot of potatoes we bought cheap, to make it streacth. Baked our own bread, one packet of yet to 10 loaves. Praise God He was with us and brought us thru. But i still try to be very careful about spending money.
Same here. Probably we all have dealt with hardship. I hope the experience taught my sons something about money: As the old maxim says, save for a rainy day!
