As we tend to loving God, ourselves and others in that order, more and more of us are looking for ways we can meet our families needs in more ways than material. What about the emotional capital they require and the presence of fathers in their midst?
Some of us have taken the leap back into pioneering again by having the Mother stay home and tend to life with children's education, etc.
Others are hoping to add to that by figuring out how to bring industry back into the family world. My friend Mrs F says the Amish consider very carefully each new thing which makes life "easier" making sure it will not elevate the men of all their work and necessitate them leaving home for a paycheck.
Others wouldn't dream of being at home and are grateful for work which meets all their material needs. Each of us must consider the calling on our lives and work to fulfill it as best we can.
Our family is in this process. I'm not sure if we will make it in our generation but I mean to try. Not all families and couples are created with the same gifts and desires. What works for one to bring in income doesn't necessarily work for another.
Do you work along with your family in some capacity? What has worked for you?
