Dear Readers, I have been pondering on sharing our life of homesteading/farming with challenged or more realistic term, handicapped, children. Our children came into our family through various means and through 20 yrs now. We have 5 of which 4 are total care and in wheel chairs, the oldest is ambulatory, though delayed and needs constant supervision. Just in the last year we have gotten home nursing care for 3 of the children and what a great blessing this has been, as it has enabled husband and I to do more on our farm. The nurses are wonderful and excellent in their skill. We are very thankful to God.
In years past husband and I had been doing it ourselves, and at one time our now grown, adult children were home and they helped too. But as we are aging, we cannot do as we once did. It was somewhat a great adjustment, bringing in strangers into your home to have the help you need. We gave much prayer in this and we know God brought the right nurses to our home He had for us.
We have a good schedule and can be flexible if a nurse is unable to come on a particular day. But it feels so good to see accomplishment in a short amount of time than before.
God will supply. There are many who desire to do some homesteading but they themselves maybe challenged, do not lose heart, God can make a way and he will when we seek him in earnest. A little bit is better than none when one has the desire. I pray God will give insight to those who seek him.
In Joy
