children are growing up in times of economic uncertanty

some debt may be necessary but when we cant control our wants we get into unneccessary debt,

hope in the saviour and the doctrines ofhis gospel

wont suffer beyond what we can endure
"get thee behind me satan" learn to say
learn to ask for help
