You know you have the best family when...

on Wednesday you just looked at putting an offer on a house and getting preapproved for a mortgage, and then immediately you find out that you are losing your day job, and then find out Thursday that its all done by Friday and you got 2 weeks of income.

WOW.

And you know you have the best family when your wife lets you just lay your head on her chest, and she strokes your hair and the starts praying and telling God thagt she is not afraid and that He is the provider. And then she tells you she is confident, and believes in you. And the jokes about how great it is to marry a guy and 3 months later watch him get laid off!

Then you tell your kids, and your new wife comes in and sits down and you all discuss it and it turns into a learning lesson about how we trust God to lead us to the grass, and we have to bend down and eat it.

I have a woman in my life that is beyond worth. I cannot imagine what it would be like to get broadsided like this without her. And my children look at us, and trust us that things are ok, because they dont see stress and tension and fear.

Who can ask for more than that?

I agree, you are a blessed man. Didn't know that women like that existed anymore! I'll be sending some prayer backup your way.
