The Lord has humbled me, yet again.
I got home last night and a I had learned that a business deal I was for sure (as of Saturday) was going to happen, actually fell through.
I was devastated, because I felt I had worked hard to get the deal closed and now everything was falling apart. This deal was supposed to put me in a good position to start bringing in some good money so my wife and I could start paying our debts off.
I was upset and frustrated, my wife could see this and didn't need myself being angry with our kids and I didn't want to be either. It was really difficult to separate my frustration from my ability to happily interact with my family.
Just when I had been toughing out my internal battle for almost an hour I received a phone call from a family that their daughter in-law had been in a car wreck, and was 5 months pregnant and she lost the baby.
In short, I quickly realized how petty my concerns were and that others had lost a loved one. I then realized that even though I have some financial difficulties I have my family.
