As a pastor, I've seen many families struggle with the idea of affording their home. But let me tell you, it's not just about the financial aspect. A home is not just a physical structure, but a place where relationships are built and strengthened. My wife Susan and I have been married for 19 years, and we've learned that it's the little things that count. Taking care of the home, making sure it's clean and organized, is not just a chore, but a way to show love and care for each other.
In fact, I remember when we first started building our home, we had to make some tough decisions about what we could afford. We didn't have a lot of extra money, but we were determined to make it work. We worked together, as a team, to prioritize our needs and make sure we were using our resources wisely. And you know what? It's been worth it. Our home is a place where we can relax, recharge, and be ourselves. It's a place where our children, Joshua and Rebecca, can grow and thrive.
So, to answer your question, can you afford to keep your home? Well, that's not just a financial question. It's a question about priorities, values, and relationships. If you're struggling to make ends meet, it may be time to take a step back and re-evaluate your priorities. But if you're willing to work together as a family, to make sacrifices and prioritize what's truly important, then yes, you can afford to keep your home. And it will be worth it, because a home is not just a physical structure, but a place where love, relationships, and memories are built.
