the importance of family

it has been brought more and more to my attention during these times of uncertain finances how important family is! i am feeling more and more led by the LORD to 'circle the wagons' and gather my immediate and extended family about me. not solely for my own protection and support (although i assure you that has crossed my mind), but to ensure that no-one amongst my kith and kin is left wanting, either financially, physically, emotionally or spiritually. this, i believe, is how GOD designed families to truly be: a support and asset in times of trouble and to share joy and goodness in times of blessings (and i've been reflecting on how no time is purely a time of trouble; there are always blessings if we look for them, but that is another topic).

by the way, the cinnamon rolls of the previous entry turned out wonderfully! i look forward to making them a regular treat during the coming cooler months.
