How timely was this drop if your Sunday article? Well-very, to say the very least. I’m struggling mightily with my relationship with my son, who is angry and sorely disappointed that he is being held back from his dream of going to his chosen college because it’s out of his parents financial reach. “I’m an A+ student, all my friend’s parents are paying for their tuition, what’s wrong with you?” “why are you crushing my dreams ?” My heart is broken, I feel like a failed parent, I’ve done what I can but it’s never enough. Then you point out that I must put Jesus first, above my son, above my pain of not being enough in his 18 year old eyes. You are right and I have to live this way and believe this. Thank you for your wisdom and your timing. There’s a lesson, a pruning, a truth, a circumstance in the future, that I can’t know and may never know but He knows. And I have to trust that that is more than enough. ❤️‍🩹

Thank you, Joe. Timely message. Our family has lost 3 loved ones within a month. It's been rough. God gives me strength. My husband was injured as a first responder in the midst of these 3 loved ones going to heaven. He could have been seriously injured due to the nature of the accident, but I believe my prayers & those of friends & family members spared from very severe injuries. He is recovering remarkably well.

I also take care of my 89 year old mom while living several miles away. Frequently, I am driving in to see her, take her to appointments. It's all good. I'm so very thankful she's with us! I don't know how people get along in life without knowing Jesus & living with faith. God is my rock, my strength. Thank you for writing this message. May it lead many others to Christ.
