This morning I took my truck in to replace the front tires because they are so worn they have threads showing. I found out that the tires that my neighbor gave me won't work so I have to buy $350 worth of tires at least. I am grateful that at least I have those used tires to sell.
Later my wife had a discussion with me about money as we are in critical condition with our bills and mortgage. She began the process of seeking financial assistance which began to send me into a tailspin of fear. But I picked my chin up and we talked things over and found that we will likely qualify for a mortgage deferment. She is looking into mortgage forbearance for us.
As this was taking place I considered my faith and remembered a recent bout with fear when I made a decision to rely on God with all my strength and to apprehend the attitude that I absolutely without a doubt believe that God is going to solve all of our problems.
In the evening I was alone at home and I was too hard hearted and gripey with my kids. I was consistent in disclipline but I did it with too much anger. This built up until I was yelling at them. In the midst of this my daughter deliberately stood in front of me and said "I love you" and held her hands up to me. She immediately melted my heart and helped me break my rage storm.
Thanks be to God.
