Off the Payroll
January 5th was a special day. My last child has finally left the family payroll. For parents, that is a huge deal. Cameron graduated from high school and decided he wanted to work at Fellowship. There is no doubt he is where God has gifted him to be. After sending two kids to college, I don’t have to pay tuition, books and room and board again. Marrying off two daughters this summer has significantly lowered our expenses. They give money to us now halleluiah! Cameron is paying for his car payment, gas, food, clothes, dates and all other expenses. We let him live at home, but that’s it. When he gets married, I am not financially responsible! This may be a tough ecomomic year for the US, but I am llooking forward to it.
For all you parents with little kids, there is hope. Enjoy the time and money you spend with your children because it is well worth it. Live within your income and bring the tithe to the House and God will bless you. But when the kids leave, celebrate good times, come on! We love our kids, but Dedo and I can do just about anything we want to now. I will be ready for grandkids in about 5 years, but I am enjoying right where I am in my life. If you see me with a big grin, now you know why!
