Michael and I are reading a book called Preparing Sons to Provide for a Single Income Family by Steven Maxwell (a man whose 2 oldest sons who were able to pay cash for their first homes).
It is actually geared toward the dad and his example to his boy/s, but has been beneficial to both of us. It goes way beyond the common "start saving up now for college" statement and delves into the spiritual, heart issues.
I came across this quote under a section titled "Contentment" that I thought was worth sharing:
"Your attitude regarding your income is far more important than how much money you actually make. Are you trusting God to meet your needs? If we can't trust God to meet our needs, how can we ever trust Him to save us from hell? Which one is more difficult for Him?"
We have seen this first-hand in our own lives (over and over!).
God has always met our needs and a lot of our wants. He is so faithful!!!!

We have certainly proved it true! God has provided for us in ways we thought impossible. Thanks for sharing!
Amen! I was just thinking about that this morning - we're a single income family with 4 children and one on the way, with a heavenly Father that provides for us even though the world says its practically impossible. He is a wonderful, loving Lord!
Good!! Sounds like a good book.
