We could not afford to throw much away. We re-used everything from plastic butter bowls to glass mayonnaise quart jars. Paper towels? Of course not! Paper plates? No way! Disposable diapers? Don't be ridiculous!! I was too young to remember my cloth diapers, but unfortunately I remember Rita's and Mark's!!
Cloth diapers were never intended to keep the baby dry. They were intended to keep the area around them dry - but they never did a great job of that. When we rocked the babies, there was never a question whether or not they had relieved themselves! You knew it - immediately!
In 1986 I was earning $3.35 an hour. By the grace of God I provided a roof over the heads of me, my wife, and my son. Food on our table. Clothes on our backs. I had to be very cautious where the money was spent. I suggested cloth diapers - ONCE! I did not have to change many diapers, my wife, Debra, took good care of that. The few times I did, helped me remember cloth diapers and their shortcomings. Of all the important things I have provided for my family over the years, surely Pampers is at the top of the list!
The "small things" or "small beginnings" often make you appreciate even the simplest of luxuries! Zechariah 4:10 "For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, ..."
