Our family relies on one income. I have been blessed to be able to stay home with my children and homeschool them. But what happens when the sole provider loses his job? How does that work?
Before schooling and work . . . before money and bills . . . comes family. We are a team and if there is one thing we want our children to learn, it is that we will do what we have to do to take care of each other.
As Mike searched for work, I was able to accept various substitute teaching jobs. We were concerned about our children and their school schedule but Mike quickly embraced the opportunity to teach them.
This week, I accepted a job working in a daycare setting. I was surprised to find that this was a place where teen moms could bring their babies so that they could finish their high school education. Spending time with these young women blessed me beyond words. I was asked to come back after the first day and then told that they wished I could be there all the time.
During this financial struggle, I earned their trust. Our small inconvenient hiccup means so little, while discussing how they were going to be able to buy the next canister of formula. These are the lessons we only truly recognize when the Lord gives and takes away.
