My dear sweet hubby works for his dad's company. It is a very small business that speacializes in manufacture, maintenance and repair of air compressors, refrigerated air dryers, vacuum pumps and blowers. This business is the only thin he ahs know since he was a kid. But his parents are now 60 and 62. they have no retirment and have not planned for their "twilight" years at all. It seems as though, given many occurrences of late, the Lord is changing direction in our lives, and my dh feels as though that NOT being involved and working for his dad is part of that change. There is way too much to tell ehre and now, but, he is having to make some very difficult decisions. To help float and establish the business, he has, for some time now, been woking VERY long hours. I am talking avg. of 16 hours a day. Making him a very tired daddy, and frankly, not a part of much of anything that we (mommy and kids) do in our daily lives, including homeschooling. He has made the  decision to only work a maximum of 10 hrs a day, and absolutely NO weekends!Mind you he works on salary, so he makes NO OT. Well, this will eventually catch up to the business financially and begin to cause problems. He does not want to sacrifice his wife and kids for the well being of his fathers company. Needless to say, he is having a really hard time in all of this. I am trying VERY hard to just be a supportive wife and not try to sway him in any particular direction. I am learning the fine art of being a good listener. Just letting him get it all off his chest. He has worked like a dog for 10 years and is really tired of not having a life. So I now ask for prayers on his behalf. That the Lord will guide him and show him the path HE has for us.  Ipray the Lord is blessing all of you with peace and joy in your lives and in your homeschooling!

In Him,

Niki :)
