Self Sufficiency in Practice, Lesson #2
Yesterday we said that homesteading is the way to go if you want to live a God sufficient life. Why is that so ? Well, the main reason is that there is hardly anyone in the world anymore that can be called a brother in Christ. Christians have abandoned God's Law-Word for their own ideas and traditions, much like the Pharisees in Jesus' times had. So unless you find a community of true brethren, your multi-generational family is better off living all by itself than among ungodly people, and that basically means homesteading.
Having established that, what might be the next practical aspect to tackle ? Once you have bought land, you will have to build a house for your family. The good old log cabin will probably provide be the best choice for you, at least for the beginning, since it is comparatively easy to build if you happen to have bought land with trees on it. If you bought land in an area where there are fewer trees, you might find stones enough on your premises to build a stone house, you might even find a convenient rock to build it against. Work with what the land provides for you, take the material the land gives you, and if it is mud mostly, then it probably has straw of some type too, so bake bricks to build your house. If you are worried about not having the right tools, don't. You have arms and hands, and so does every member of your family.
In the meantime, where will you sleep ? Tents are convenient for that matter, even an RV or trailer will do the job, if you happen to have one or if you happen to have bought one for the journey out to where you want to live. Some of you might actually have the money to do that, so use well what God has blessed you with.
Plan ahead, choose land according to its remoteness and its usefulness for your chosen way of living, and don't complain about what the land does not offer, but use what it has according to God's plan.
And stay tuned for lesson #3.
