We have been praying for some time about becoming a multi-generational family. This means that my mother and step-father would move into a large home with us and we would share the expenses to make life easier on everyone. It is not always easy and I know that living with my step-father is going to test my very core. However I also KNOW that my GOD is greater than anything that stands in the way.
Throughout history families have been multi-generational. It has served a purpose to honor elderly parents and help new generations learn to respect previous generations and to benefit from their wisdom, knowledge, and life experiences.
So why is it that some can not see the benefit of living in harmony and trying to do what will benefit more than one generation? Why is it that some will do all they can to crush the spirit of cooperative living? Why is it that I feel so passionately about this?! LOL! In all honesty I never realized that I had such a strong desire to be a truly Godly, feminine role model for my daughter until these past few months. I'm not the best house keeper in the world but I'm doing more and more to get better and better at it. I know I have a lot left to be desired but I would have my mother there to help me keep house and I would have a lot to do to keep me busy. I would feel less stressed about keeping things cleaned up because I'd have help and I would not worry so much about my child messing up as soon as I clean up because I won't be the only one cleaning up after everyone.
Family bible study could take on a new meaning and even though I am not the head of our household it is my responsibility to teach our child God's word.
