Cardboard Side 1:  Barry lost his job....I was worried & afraid

When my husband lost his job unexpectedly a few years ago, I was very worried and scared as we had a huge mortgage to pay and tuition to pay for three children in private school and college.  But during that time of my husband being unemployed, we were both reading through the Old Testament.  What we were reading actually coincided with what we were going through - you know...the time where the Israelites were wandering through the desert for 40 years.  God demonstrated to us that He would provide us our daily Manna as well.... we would receive numerous gifts from random people, who felt the Lord prompting them to give us things - things such as a Christmas tree at Christmas, a Turkey, a Costco gift card - the list goes on and on and on.  The neatest thing is the timing in which these gifts were given... just at the right time.  All we could think of was

Cardboard Side 1: Stuck in hate & anger

I used to live with a lot of hate, anger and resentment toward my family. From there, it expanded to others through constant road rage and getting offended by certain views and comments, and I held on to these things for many years. It even came to a point where I even struggled with the nice things that my wife did for me.  She took me on a trip to Europe and we just fought there because there was no room for appreciation in me.  My heart had been hardened from the accumulation of my sins over the years.

Cardboard Side 2: Delivered by love & joy

But when I started to attend a Salvation Army program for addiction treatment, it made me realize how important it was for me to seek God. After all, he had blessed me with my beautiful wife and I couldn’t let that blessing be destroyed through the lies I had believed and the bitterness I was holding on to. As soon as I made the decision to pursue God, He helped me to change. My language even went from cursing and swearing to watching what I say and speaking words of love and joy. All praise and Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ for his mercy endures forever and is made new every morning!
