Pinching Penny's / Attitude is FREE

So the economy has finally caught up with us. Not to mention the added weight of medical bills, past surgical procedures, and emergency home repairs. When it rains it pours. We did our best to save for this moment, but the yearly deductibles drained all our efforts. As Perry's company begins to crumble and our medical bills continue stacking we have nothing more to rely on then faith. I have been pretty creative and found some clever ways of keeping the kids active in their sports and extra activities, however everything else is a lesson of sacrifice. I think its important for the boys to understand that it takes sacrifice and faith to receive the outcome we are seeking. They have been very understanding and supportive with some of the changes we have made. As Perry seeks for a better more stable career we as a family can stand behind him with our willingness to pinch penny's where we can and be a little more clever with our spending. It has been a great strength in our home to teach the boys the true meaning of faith and how to apply in our lives. I know blessings are only for the seeker and though it is a struggle at times there are great miracles amongst us. I am grateful that I have a husband that supports my job as a S.A.H.M. and strives to do all he can to continue to make that possible even in these though times. Many things in life are not FREE, but our attitude is. So we as a family have been doing our best at taking the Lemons of life and turning them into Sweet Lemonade.
