A courageous young woman

Our daughter-in-law, Debbie with the two youngest children, 15 months and eight weeks respectively. Here she is taking a short break from homeschooling their seven-year-old and having just pacified their four-year-old who skinned his knee. All this is done on an open piece of land with a shed (her future home) in the progress of being built and while living in a caravan. She and John are working towards a vision of living off this land and by the grace of God they are succeeding.

Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is worth more than precious rubies. Her husband can trust her and she will greatly enrich his life. She will not hinder him but help him all her life. Proverbs 31:10-12

  1. Yes ---your daughter-in-law is a very strong and brave young woman... I know you are proud of both her and your son for doing what they are doing. I admire people who follow their dream ---no matter how hard it is...

    God Bless ALL of that precious little family.
    Hugs,
    Betsy

  4. She certainly has her hands full and seems very capable. I wish them luck in their venture. Is there a verse in the bible that says a husband should not hinder but help his wife?

  6. She is a brave soul, but the rewards of living off the land are great. I hope the shed turns into a house soon.

  7. They are living like pioneers and I'm sure they are appreciative of all things. The children are beautiful.
    How far are they from you?
