Read more of your blog and I wanted to share with you that I have a friend with 5 children in a house the size of yours - Not alot of room, but big on love. I struggled with contentment for a long time too. Someone I know has a blog and I don't know if it will help with contentment, but maybe it will provide some encouragement - http://saundersfamily5.blogspot.com<br /><br />I will be praying for you.<br />PamLove My Country Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107784929114655477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777777459414749207.post-43821453873532483482009-10-16T05:29:42.806-04:002009-10-16T05:29:42.806-04:00Jen,

We lived in a very nice community and most folks had very big homes so I had envy more times than I care to mention. We've since moved to a larger home and have just two of the kids living at home with us still who are 22 and 19 and guess what?...although we live in a 2 story home almost all of our time is spent together on the main floor. I've seen the saying so many times that love grows best in little houses, it's so true! I think you have to like each other because there's simply no place to go! We live on a very small budget still so still have hand me down furniture etc. and I sometimes feel a bit embarrassed that it's not nice, new furniture but then I look at the folks that we knew that lived in those huge homes...sadly most of them are now divorced or their kids have given them so much grief. I have to say that our kids have never given us a problem, we've just always been so close and I know it's because we homeschooled and lived in our little house!!! <br />You're very blessed Jen, what a sweet family you have, don't let envy take away your joy!<br />In Him,<br />JudyJudy Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10396105093269985902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777777459414749207.post-70353904259070514002009-10-15T18:02:05.195-04:002009-10-15T18:02:05.195-04:00Thank you for sharing!
