We are still living in the trailer, and I can see months more once we get on the property and begin building.  I have really struggled with a poor me attitude.  We are near an area where the median home price is 600,000 and it seems like everyone else is able to take care of their family in a house! 

This week though a homeschool mother of 6 children from a local church died suddenly, leaving behind young children and a husband who had just lost his job. 

It certainly made my struggles seem miniscule in comparison.  I am able to care for my dear children, feed my family and try to be an encourager to my brave husband.  Things these children will no longer know from their own mother.

  When we are tempted to compare and feel that others have an easier path, let us look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.  Hebrews 12, paraphrased.
