Feeding The Family During Famine
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 Records abound of the reality of famine both in biblical and contemporary times. Economic recession, depression, budgetary cuts and their negative effects on jobs, food inflation, disposable family incomes and the cost of living are all too familiar.
