God, thank You for your kindness to my family. The closing of our house and subsequent money that was given to us as a “relocation fund’ were a huge blessing.  That means we no longer have the utilities and association dues to pay for as well as being able to pay off our car loan, Mia’s school, and several other little things.  Lord, what an amazing thing!  Thank You so much. I pray that You will help us to be good stewards of our money even more now, as we’re trying to pay off our debt.  Please give us wisdom. Lord, please give us parenting wisdom as well. Sometimes Mia shocks me with her bad attitude. Is this something I need to have more grace for? If so, I pray that You’ll give me a tender heart for her.. I pray that in either case, that I would have compassion for her and show her that her daddy loves her no matter what. Lord, I thank You for that, and for the amazing kids you’ve given us. Lord, I also pray for the Poletti’s. I know they are going through some pretty significant financial troubles right now, and I just pray that You’ll give them serenity. I pray that if they are doing the right thing, that You would help them to  know that, and if You want them to do something else, that You would clearly show them that as well. They are leaning on You Lord, and I pray that You will come through for them in miraculous ways. I love You so much!
