Joann, I'm praying for peace for you despite the circumstances, and for a miracle to meet your family's needs. I've learned how much the prayers of this forum's members can do in very difficult circumstances, so even if you have to check in from a library computer for a while, I am confident that those prayers and delightful posts on all the forums will help sustain you.

In severe financial challenges, I'm always reminded of how Our Lady must have felt during the flight to Egypt. She was without so much and totally dependent on God (and her dear St. Joseph). Mary understands your heart. A friend who experienced similar circumstances last fall told me that she found it was very important to their marriage to reassure her husband that she had faith in him to provide for them. He was so down on himself and she was very careful not to say anything that he could misunderstand, and to say encouraging and positive things to him.

Warmly,
Mary Alice

Joann, I have been praying for you and holding you up in a hedge of protection from financial heartaches. I have a painfully slow internet where I live and find it difficult to get online to post all the time, but know I'm thinking of you. Hugs!

Joann,

I have been thinking about you and your financial burdens and they have been in my prayers. So glad to see you have some access to the internet!!!

BTW My kids have the same Steubie U t-shirt your son has on in some pictures, they thought it was so cool to see others with the shirt on
