Jennifer N Family,
I am feeling your pain. I too have found myself in a similar situation. I was in the hospital over the summer (and off work for 6 weeks) due to Ecoli poisoning that I contracted from having my galbladder removed. Our family got behind in bills at that time, and I found myself back in the hospital the day before Thanksgiving getting a hernia repair/scar reduction surgery. I was to be off of work for another 6 weeks, but talked the doctor into letting me go back because I could not afford the time off work. Last week my mother was placed in the hospital due to "abdominal pain", only to be brought to the harsh realization that she will be lucky to spend another year with us because the doctors have diagnosed her with stage 4 ovarian cancer. I put off asking for help because I was too proud to admit that I had a need, thought that if I just stuck my head in a hole Christmas would just go away, and found things too bleak to even aknowlege there might be a solution. However, after seeing my kids faces last night, watching "Rudolph", I now realize that it's their Grandma too and my hurting pride should not affect how they feel Chrismas morning. Unfortunately, now that I got enough courage to reach out for help, I'm told that the toy drives are over. I have 3 children, who at this point don't even have a Christmas tree, their ages are a 5yr old boy, 10yr old boy and a 15yr old girl. So, if God directed you to read this, and the Spirit urges you to respond, I can be reached at richie_and_tina@msn.com for more details.
In God's Love,
Tina
