What God Has Taught Me from Lack of Money

What Has God Taught Me from A Lack of Money

I was born in 1940, so had some experience as a child with being poor during WWII when dad was in the Pacific and mom was raising us two boys (my brother Harold – now dead) alone. We used to have to go to the store with ration coupons to buy food. Our morning meals consisted mostly of oatmeal. If we had meat on the table once a week, we were fortunate. That experience taught me to enjoy what I did have and to share with those less fortunate. We never considered ourselves poor but vowed to make a good place for ourselves in society and to have a better home life for our children. That has worked out for me mostly. My brother was doing well for quite a while but when his wife died, he fell apart. His boys (four of them) are scattered to the wind now. I’m not rich, and most likely I never will be, but I’m living comfortably and God is looking after us. We are at peace with our souls and trying to live good Christian lives.
