Never a need to say sorry when you spend time with your kids...but thanks for the reply.
From reading your response it sounds like we are thinking along the same lines. We also are stocked with food, consumables, supplies, and tools...and this is for the nine of us...I have seven children. We don't have the wine but that is okay...
I was very blessed to be able to buy some farm land and build our own house on it several years back. As a result we now have fruit trees, grape vines, berry patches (blue berry, black berry, raspberry, and strawberry), as well as a large garden, chickens for eggs and meat, ducks for eggs and meat, sheep for wool and meat, and a cow/calf for milk and meat. We are able to can a lot and purchase in bulk most of what we do not raise.
“our Christian faith is our really real asset.”
I completely agree...
“In the new True Grit movie...’I am in the hands of the Maker of all things and I have a fine horse’.”
I agree with your assessment of this statement...it shows reliance on God and that He has given us the ability to plan...well said.
God bless
We live in urban Eugene Oregon and would love to buy a rural plot in the county just south of here and get away from the land of “Big Brother”. We also see such a place as a location for our children and their families to move to in hard times. God bless and keep you in His prosperity.
