Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

But what greater benefit is there than time?

So much to consider...


full disclosure- we live very simply, and dh works full time in ministry, but as my kids get older and ready to leave home, I appreciate more and more that they will have the memories of the gift of time!
granted, we did not have "quality" vacations, eat out, birthday gifts and christmas gifts capped at 30.00 each, and the like, but my kids have had "quantity" time with dad, and that is more and more precious to us as the years pass.
I'll be cheering you on should you make this choice!

Thank you all for your prayers. My dh did not take the job. When they came in with their formal offer, the salary was much lower than dh expected so there was no choice in the matter. I am almost thankful, though, that they made it so easy to refuse.

One good prospect did come through this situation though. Another company that has wanted dh to come to work for them, was spurred on by the knowledge that he is willing to switch companies to get down here so they are searching for a position for him.

So, please keep praying. We know that God has His own timeframe and need to be patient.

Thanks!

Hopefully Co. #2 will find a position and come in with a good offer!
Time is always better than $ , but you always need enough $ to cover real life.
This has already been a full year for your family!!
