Being a spouse, a parent, a grown up
brings great joys, and great responsibilities.
In our household, we have been very blessed.
Our needs have been met, and we indulge in a few extras.
We have had a great time growing up together!!
Our desire to eliminate our own personal debt and honor recent medical expenses,
combined with a few bumps in the road at work,
has led us to a handful of family counsels and discussions.
We have canceled a few family trips, evaluated needs vs. wants
cut back on our weekly FHE dinner out, and made other personal sacrifices.
The decisions themselves, have been easier to make.
than dealing with the frustration and disappointments
I hope that our daughters realize, we are disappointed too!
Ultimately, I hope someday our daughters will remember these times
not as “the time we canceled our trip” or the “time we couldn’t buy something”,
but as “the time my parents made the right decision”.
I hope that they can use this example when it is their turn
to make the difficult decision.
