Unit 3 Blog
This is my first time blogging and I am kind of excited and nervous. I am a stay at home mom and full time student right now. I thought for some reason it would be easier than being a working mom, boy was I wrong. I stay so much busier now than I ever have with three kids ages six, six, and two with one on the way. Christmas is just a couple of days away and this year it just doesn't feel like Christmass to me. My husband lost his job a month ago, my mother is in the hospital, and my children do not understand hardships. They expect a christmas as usual and that just can not happen this year, it is heartbreaking to me. I know life will get better. I have faith that God has a plan and he will see us through. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Brenda it is so hard to see beyond the tree when you are going through them and we all can relate in one way or another. I can remember the days when my children were little and we were hiding the car at night until we could come up with the funds to make the payment. They are all grown now but what we went through taught them strength and about life. Keep your head and your faith because your correct he will see you through it all. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and I will keep you in my prayers for many blessings today and everyday.
ReplyDeleteHello Brenda,
ReplyDeleteChange is the only constant. Next year is bound to be different. Children are resilient. I remember when I had five children at home, new jeans were the big treat at Christmas time. Spending time with your children is the best gift. They will be gone before you know it!!
Have a wonderful holiday! Your children will love you always! May many future blessings be yours!
Hey Brenda, don't they have toys for tots in Clarksville? I saw David Letterman urging everyone everywhere to make sure kids do not go without toys this Christmas. Maybe a local Santa will surprise you.????
ReplyDeleteThank you for your thoughtful words. Professor they do have things like that here in Clarksville, but my husband lost his job with hardly any notice. One day the plant was open and running and the next thing we know they were closing the doors. Our kids have never wanted for anything so that is why it is hard, but they understood and we reminded them the reason for the season. God is good even when times are hard. They still had a wonderful Christmas, we just didn't dwell on what we did not have, but what we did have.
ReplyDeleteHello Brenda. Sorry to hear that you are going through tough times right now. We are not financially ahead either and Christmas this year was not like what I had when I was a kid. My children are 1 and 2 though, so they really don't have any expectations yet. I guess we were sort of blessed in that aspect. Things will get better though, they always do! And God never puts you into a situation that you cannot handle. Stay positive Brenda and Happy New Year!
