Your Question:
How do I keep my family together when we're facing financial ruin?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many families struggle with financial ruin. It's a daunting task, but with determination and a solid plan, it's possible to keep your family together. I remember when my wife Susan and I were facing financial difficulties, we had to be intentional about our spending and saving. We made a budget together, stuck to it, and prioritized our needs over our wants. It's essential to involve your family in the decision-making process, especially when it comes to finances. Teach them the importance of living within their means, paying bills on time, and avoiding debt. As parents, my wife and I have made it a point to model these values for our children, Joshua and Rebecca. We've also encouraged them to make conscious choices about their financial decisions, so they can avoid financial trouble in the future. By doing so, we've been able to maintain a strong family bond despite the financial challenges we've faced. As I always say to my congregation, our finances are a gift from God, and we should be grateful for what we have. It's not about accumulating wealth, but about being good stewards of what we've been given. By keeping our priorities straight and being mindful of our spending, we can navigate financial difficulties as a family and come out stronger on the other side. As a family, we've learned to rely on each other and on God's provision, and that's been a game-changer for us.
