It’s all in the family.Īward-winning author Karen Mains has long had an interest in spiritual formation and the obedient Christian walk. It’s amazing, isn’t it, how God times His provision to perfectly fit our need. Right now, it’s simply money that is all in the family. Joel can pay for extra help when we move him into the new home. This, I am s’re, David will not want to accept. When I close on the house, I’ll have some money and I can pay him back.” I didn’t know how much he had paid, but I know he used Jeremy’s loan repayment (the brother who was fighting cancer and not available to pitch in on this move). “What did Dad pay those guys with?” Joel asked after he had relocated himself into our house. So, David arranged for the Ayers boys (actually one Ayers teen and an older high-school friend) to spend several hours over two days passing boxes in a fire-bucket line to the PODS, hauling miscellaneous stuff to the storage locker, and just lending a hand (four hands actually) in the general commotion that comes from breaking down the belongings in any American home. Our other grandchild, Josie, was getting cram-tutoring so she could make the deadlines for her online courses. Jeremy was in the hospital Doug and Ayden were at camp. Melissa paid for a moving crew who had helped her to lug all the larger furniture pieces-the bed, the couches, the cabinets and the refrigerator into PODS Joel had rented to store his things until two weeks had passed and he could close on the new home.ĭavid thought that we needed some more assistance. We had had fair warning, but since I am 70 and David is almost 77 (and feeling really lousy with a head cold), we thought we had better put contingency plans in place. This was nice since we are also cash-short.ĭuring the third week of July, while Jeremy was still in the hospital and Angela was tied up managing all she has been managing (also while my son-in-law had scheduled an outing to a week long dad-and-son camp), Joel Mains was in the midst of a house move. So, Jeremy paid us back some small loans. The downstairs study has been turned into a room where Jeremy can recover after returning from the hospital, and since he needs to have a bathroom that he can exclusively use as his own (since his immune system will be compromised), the first-floor washroom is being divided into two units. Concerned about hospital bills and extra expenses and not being able to work, they thought they should have some cash on hand for an emergency and home-improvement fund.

Jeremy and Angela cashed in a retirement fund. Here’s one of my personal God Hunt Sightings: Have you ever gone on a God Hunt? A God Hunt begins when you teach yourself to look for God’s hand at work in the everyday occurrences of your life.
