Just one historical note: India gained its independence in 1947, not 1950. Thanks! Since my husband is from India, I appreciate your views on the country’s global economic positioning.

Thank you for sharing that letter! It is an encouragement to many who might be considering a reversal. I pray God would bless them with many more children. We are are family of seven and one more on the way. We are not going to worry about the economy. Instead we bought a scooter! We saved $250 on gas last month! Cut back, be creative and be frugal! I love it! I hate stuff, it gets in the way of what we should be focusing on. Our priorities should be raising Godly children, being a testimony and light to struggling families, and to obey Christ in whatever he asks us to do. You can't take anything with you except your soul and hopefully the souls of your saved children. Keep being an inspiration, we need it! Great testimony! Thank you for sharing that letter!

I also appreciate the encouragement! I feel like the skills I use everyday to meet the needs for our family of 11 are what everyone else is scrambling to find! I already know how to feed my family a wholesome meal for only a few dollars. My 15 passanger van may not get the most miles to the gallon but I know how to cut back on the amount of miles I am driving. We must rely on God to not fall to the fear of this economy! We have built our family on pure faith! After having two children early in our marriage we chose sterilization at the age of 23 to keep our family of 4. Within the next year we were mournful at the destruction we had chosen for our family! God was gracious and gave us a third child through adoption and six more following a tubal ligation reversal! We can't imagine life without our 9 children and would still feel blessed by more, even in these difficult economic times!

I too like Rachel, let fear slip in sometimes. I keep thinking of Isaiah 41:10 and it helps get back where I need to be. :) God Bless, Michele I love it when you write about the economy Chris….it is just so spot on and logical.

I've seen fear slip in so often. Not only, in our own family, but in those around us. Every time someone watches the news or reads and email, etc. Your post was reassuring. My husband and I have 6, going on 7, children (in August). We actually don't live very far from you and I think some our kids attended horse camp together. About 4 weeks ago I was feeling overwhelmed and went to the computer and typed in "large family living" your site and many others came up. Your insight and encouragement has played a part in changing my outlook. Thank you, Wendy for the recipe book and the ideas for buying in bulk. I'm sure you get thousands of comments like these, but again, thanks for sharing.
