Families Are Forever: If You Can Just Get Through Today

When Janice and Gerald Weinheimer brought their last baby, Tanya, home from the hospital, she was met there by Jackie, Julie, and Wendy, age four; Kerry and Kyle, age six; Debbie and Eric, age eight, and Beckie, age ten. All the neighborhood kids? Not quite. All Weinheimers - one single child, two sets of twins, and a set of triplets. How did two parents cope with all these children? How did they afford food and clothing for so many all at once? How on earth did they handle them at church? And what about when the toddlers became teenagers - how did they keep track of them? What kinds of rules did they have? Families are Forever . . . answers these and many other questions about rearing a large and happy family. It covers everything from bathing babies to disciplining teenagers; from giving children household chores to giving them votes in the family council; from rocking the cradle to cutting the apron strings. This very successful mother tells how she and her husband trained their children in gospel subjects, homemaking skills, reverence, cleanliness, thriftiness, and joy. The challenges may have doubled and tripled along with the children, but the rewards did too. Certainly this family has a full house - but they have much, much more. They have a close-knit, loving relationship that includes every one of the nine children. They have a well-organized team that can bottle fruit, make chocolates, harvest tomatoes, bake bread, and do the dishes for eleven people in less than ten minutes. They have a family unit that will endure forever - because the parents who formed it have trusted in God and sought His guidance in the rearing of their posterity. This delightful book will bring a frequent smile to your face, an occasional tear to your eye, and a continual glow to your heart!
