Honor your Husband #8

Today another 10 hour day, Home to an untidy house. Kids, summer inside a lively mess. I was mopping the kitchen floor.
He steps over amazed, I reassure him all is well a timer was set and they have a duty in just moments to tidy.
Tired he awaits his meal in silence till he sinks into the dust from whence he came....No wait thats a song.:) Any way he looked into what (spent an hour on line) appeared a way we might be able to replace our old 4 runner, (he wants so badly to take me camping more often) no it was about a retirement vestment with our old employer( thank God we were prudent but that is another 15 years out) . We were with Motorola for over 25 years. He was one of the the last men standing after 6000 folks were laid off. He was not absorbed and all of his references were gone. We were unemployed for almost a year and all but used up the severance because I was in a car wreck. Always God has provided , ALWAYS! Within that time he diligently created history of his family of origin scanning over 600 images and saving countless photographs that were decomposing. On the night before he was finished I went for a walk. I prayed and asked God what do I do ? Do I push or what. God told me just to pray for him and support him to finish what he was doing that it was the most important thing. I obeyed! He was an engineer without a degree. He believed he was not eligible for a job in that field now and had lost all status and rank. He started over again at 47 with a 7 year old and a 3 year old both with special needs. That morning he announced he had finished the project... WITHIN HOURS HE GOT THE CALL AND GOT THE NEW JOB!
Back to tonight:
Saddened he tells me of his disappointment over the low balance in our account. He has been working to set a goal of an emergency savings. He has been doing 10 hour days! With unexpected expenses and a lifestyle set at 1/3 of the income we lived under for so many years the stress gets to him.
We never really practiced debt only our mortgage and the adoptions thank God we were prudent and purchased our third home 7 years ago much under what they tell you you can afford at the lenders.We have set a goal to keep our Home for several reasons. In large part security plays a major role in our lives the kids exist on it. A move would be our last resort.

He still read to the children helped me with the camper and just returned from a short run.
He is exhausted! Day is done and no time for himself. It is now 10 p.m.
He would give me the moon if he were able.
He is going to miss our daughters 10 birthday party. I goofed and set it on a work day.
Please pray for this fine man he is weary of the battle and keeps pressing on. I need to do even better with our budget. It is just really hard to save right now. He wants to save so bad. So do I. I am so grateful that this man keeps our family safe from the storm by having that mind. Balancing his role as husband, father, friend and provider.
He is an amazing MAN THAT LOVES GOD> He says what good is a man if he doesn't love his wife and family.
