God forbid that Donald J. Trump wins re-election. If that happens, I may fall over dead. The prior comment stated that Trump was a pig - that is an insult to hogs, pigs and swine everywhere! LOL. We must remember that divided we fall and united we stand. We must come together and vote for immediate change now and afterward, keep our representatives nose to the grindstone to take care of our most important items to keep our nation and the world on an even keel.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07347752302864819081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-91733829075900482222020-10-22T09:41:22.857-04:002020-10-22T09:41:22.857-04:00What will change for me is not having to listen to...What will change for me is not having to listen to Donald Trump. That man is a pig. I cannot say it any other way. Yes, both parties are in it to line their own pockets. Thank heavens I trust in Jesus or it would be completely dismal. I have been reading Isaiah and what has struck me is that people were exactly the same way back then! Lawsuits against each other, trampling on the poor, corrupt leadership, no social justice etc. Men have always been the same. But you are correct. It does not mean that we can be complacent. We must speak the truth. The word of God is a double edged sword.

I have hung our wreaths, and am doing some Advent deep cleaning, but am mostly filling orders and preparing for two small shows.

They never notice what I'm knitting (as I don't know one Pokemon from another), so I can just knit away as we do school readings.

We are very unconventional in our living and choices too. Sometimes I begin to worry about this and how different we are, and is that really okay and is it okay for our children? I know that it is. I see it in my children and how they thrive and how peaceful and happy and kind they are. I would say between raising a family with love, togetherness, creativity, simplicity (the real kind, not the fad kind of today), and all that you are doing - compared to having more money to buy and do more. . . it's really not a competition! <br />I could say so much but I'd basically be repeating and agreeing with all you said above. <br />Love, MelMama Ash Grovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14477958069982028795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-71285948102685764122018-05-08T04:52:38.383-04:002018-05-08T04:52:38.383-04:00Thanks for the reminder!

Although I'm not of the waiting type either, I sometimes just seem to forget to get as much as I can out of my life....<br />And not being able to travel because of lack of money is so hard! I haven't seen our eldest and our grandchild in 1,5 years, my parents in 2 years and my sister and her family in 2,5 years. And I don't want to complain because I know it's a consequence of the choices we have made and the non-cultural norm life we live, but it really hurts sometimes.<br />Anyway, good luck with the selling of your property and your new business!<br />/LindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-55187995240929445772018-04-24T17:16:22.089-04:002018-04-24T17:16:22.089-04:00It isn't always easy and sometimes we can be v...It isn't always easy and sometimes we can be very grateful for cheap things when going through a true financial struggle - please know I am not judging others as I don't know their circumstances but if we all are more intentional with our spending, as you said, it really would make a difference.

I know that God will open other doors and truly the next adventure will be exciting although I am sure with its share of struggles too as that is how we grow. I hope your homesteading is going well and you are enjoying your home. I remember when you moved there many years ago.
