Mom . . . You can have mine!

We must be doing something right!  I was extremely moved this morning when Nathan, my youngest son, said . . . "you know the money I earned, you can have it mom".  For those of you who know Nathan this was very hard for him.  His mentality has always been, me, me, me.  I saw a side of him today that I was so thankful for.  Since I am unemployed we have made several cut backs including not allowing the kids to eat lunch provided by the school.  I figured if I purchased in bulk we could make lunches rather then spending the $1.40 - $2.00 a day it costs there.  Nathan recently did some work and generously offered his paycheck to us for bills and I was seriously stressing since my unemployment will run out in February.

God is good and he provides everything that we need.  I know that my families needs will be met if only I lean on Him.  What a bright spot he gave me this morning through Nathan!

What an exciting way to see God at work through your children during uncertain times! See? He's still working around you!
