​After growing up in poverty, a young man was finally able to get a steady job and provide for his new and growing family.


He did not make much, but what he did earn, he saved and held on to most every penny…

...ensuring that he would never have to be poor again.

His family did not live a miserly and depraved life, but focusing on the bare necessities (especially when their friends around them splurged” did sometimes try their patience.

But enough time passed when the husband thought a “surprise” was in order for his family.

He had been saving enough money to purchase something that his family would enjoy for hours on end and would keep providing for them for the future, and even when they were not there.

This purchase was Peace of Mind.
