Inheritance

It used to be parents would leave their posterity land, farms, houses, etc. as an inheritance.  Man, we are barely making it leaving in a tiny, old, rock cottage on a bit less than an half an acre.  Neither one of us knows how to become wealthy. We are trying to educate our children well, but I often wonder if it will be enough.  Sometimes I worry about the economy and future. I hope we are preparing our children and giving them what they need to succeed temporally. I feel we are barely making it ourselves. We are very blessed! It just seems we are on the edge financially and bonuses, raises, and even small windfalls aren't happening like we had half planned on. Maybe I'm just comparing us to the extreme wealth all around us. All our needs are met. I enjoy the challenge of penny pinching. I just hope we will be able to pay for missions, educations, etc., because we definitely can't right now. Missions and college are right around the corner. I'm sure Heavenly Father has a plan and way for our family. He always has! I should never worry, just be faithful! Maybe I worry I'm not very faithful and not deserving of blessings. Maybe that is why things are so tight right now. Visiting and home teaching rarely if ever get done. We rarely attend the temple. It seems with a large family and being pregnant I run our of time and energy way before I even think of leaving the house. I just need to be less selfish. Somehow I just need to be able to do all this stuff and stop worrying. I pray the Lord will help me obey Him, because I'm not able to do all He asks on my own. I know He will.
