For the last 3 years and 10 months, we have lived with added children in our house. It is a wonderful thing!
Extra people means extra mouths to feed which means more expense…
Now for the second time in (almost) 4 years, we find ourselves with all of the ‘orphans no more’ gone on holiday to various places, visiting their friends or relatives. This is a RARE happening!!
You would think that we would take this opportunity to take a much needed vacation… but alas, we find ourselves with very little money in our pockets. (It costs quite a bit to send the girls to their rural homes.)
God has a sense of humor, doesn’t he?
Here we have only a handful of children, meals are easier to prep, and expenses should be less- freeing up cash… but it never seems to fail that when our expenses drop, so does our income.
Sometimes I just have to sit and laugh at how our life must look to people on the other side…
It must be God’s way of making sure we never have too much. I don’t know. I just find it humorous.
