I am so happy. I am so thankful for life. I don't know how else to describe what is going on in our lives. It is such a transition time. Life is totally weird. It is stress free. Stress Free!! We have no steady income! And I'm thankful for that! Weird!!! It can only be God. Some people would criticize and say we are wrong, that J should be out pounding the pavement for work. And maybe he should be, but . . . . I don't think so.
This time (and it's only been 2 weeks) has been wonderful for our family. J has reconnected with his children. They miss him SOOOOOO much when he's gone for a couple of hours (fire meetings or calls, or some part time work for a friend) and are so very excited when he pulls back in the yard. It used to be less chaotic when he came home from work. More like, "oh Daddy's home, now he gets the tv." (As if our world revolved around the tv but I guess at times it can.) Anyway, I love this excitement in the children and in him. I want to find a way to keep that when he does return to work.
I am thankful that he lost his job. He takes pride in his work and the work that he did for that company and they did not appreciate him. I feel they lost out and helped us so very much to bond closer as a family. Thank you!
I know I seem to harp on this job situation, but that's our life right now. :)
I'm thankful for the time my DH has to spend renovating our home. Making our house ours and adding features and things that we think are great is an invigorating passion for him. He loves to work hard and to see his designs take shape. He would never brag about such things himself, so I have to do it for him. He doesn't think the loft is pretty and maybe it's not, but it's functionable and sturdy and ours. The structure of the next loft area will be the same.
I wish he could stay home forever. And yet, I know I'll be thankful for the next job that God provides my man.

I love that the Lord has filled her heart and home with blessings. He knows what is best for each of us, and when the time is right for DH to find work, He will prompt him to do so. In the meantime, be blessed in your love for one another and in His love for you all.
Enjoy these moments you have today. Live with no regrets.
