Growing up, I learned to live uncomfortable... like waiting on line for government cheese and peanut butter kind of uncomfortable. But God is good and we always found food to eat. <br /><br />Today, by no means is my family starving, (actually we could all stand to loose a few pounds, LOL) but we struggle on one income. No matter what we have, I've learned to be content, and never forget the times we had to struggle to get by. <br /><br />I love your story and am so, so <br />over-joyed and excited by the happy ending!jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10708353376256621965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2111208659086834464.post-8549717620867484452012-06-11T07:37:21.866-06:002012-06-11T07:37:21.866-06:00Now that's an inspirational story and it's...Now that's an inspirational story and it's good to know that you don't forget where you came from. <br /><br />Enjoy it all.
