"Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from Him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior's hand. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them." Psalm 127:3-5

Generosity

I feel so blessed by the generosity of my family and church family. I hope to be able to someday be as generous as so many have been to us as we go through this difficult time. My husband has been unemployed for a little over a year. I am technically unemployed as of this past friday. I know that there are so many millions of others that are unemployed as well. I am trying to be sympathetic to there situation, too, but I have to admit that I am struggling with it. Our situation is a little different. My husband has not received any unemployment benefits for over three months due to a complicated set of circumstances and we have no idea when or if they will begin again. And I am self employed so I cannot receive unemployment benefits. Therefore our family has absolutely zero money coming in right now. That is a very scary place to be. I am trying to see it as an opportunity to totally trust God for all of our needs. Unfortunately it is a battle for me. I am battling everyday with overwhelming fear. I ask for your prayers for provision and favor, for a job, for our bills to be caught up on and paid, and for peace and faith in this difficult time, and for a generous and giving heart. I can't wait live generously with whatever God provides.
