Yes, my family was fed and sheltered through it all, but it was not due to the fruits of my labor. One source was a generous gift from my parents, another was postponning our college loan payments and the last was a government handout (unemployment insurance). While grateful for these things, I felt helpless because I was trying to provide for my family, but was unable to do so. I realize this episode in the Tex household provided good lessons for both the Mrs. and me. Humility. Trust. Perseverance. Gratitude.<BR/><BR/>Now, being employed again has allowed me to feed, clothe and shelter my family. For this, I thank God. I also now have a greater appreciation for the dignity of work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
