Hi bin,
Yes, I am quite fortunate that although my hubby does not earn very much, he is very supportive
I totally understand your concern about getting by on a single income. We had quite abit of problem with that at first too. Due to poor planning, we literally maxed out all our credit cards in the 1st year...lol. Slowly, we learnt (still learning) to manage our finances better. Funny thing is, through it all, we never did run into any serious debt and we always managed to get by somehow
So keep the faith...God will provide as He purposes
We try to immerse our girl in the faith by...
- weekly Mass
- my girl joins the St. Francis Kids' Club for pre-schoolers at SMOTA
- attends Nursery at a Catholic Kindergarten
- say grace before meals and ever since she's started school, we sometimes let her lead
- parental blessing in the morning and before bedtime
- short morning & night prayers
- she has her own rosary beads which she'd just sit around and play with when we pray the rosary (something we don't do very much nowadays though
)
- tell her how her guardian angel will protect her..especially when she's afraid of the dark and 'monsters under the bed'
- she has a small collection of Christian books which we sometimes read to her
- listening to and singing hymns together at home (when she was a baby, instead of singing lullabies, I'd use to sing to her my favourite hymns)
- on weekends, her grandpa keeps her entertained sometimes by watching Catholic cartoons by EWTN
Well, that's about all I can think of at the moment...I'll post more when I remember them
