Hang in there. I thank the Lord every day because I know we are blessed. All our friends and family have seen some really tough times and I have helped them if I could and/or knew that the help would actually help them. I have seen many people who are in bad shape because of their own actions, doesn’t sound like you.
Bless you and your family.
I see friends/relatives getting new trucks/cars every 2-3 years or so, ATV’s or other toys, new houses every 10 years or so, going on vacations to Florida/Hawaii/skiing, I just refuse to spend the money or borrow to do it. Our only splurge is martial arts for one child and one competitive sport for the other.
