I have been blessed with the opportunity to work from "home" this year. I work for Michael's mom and I am truly grateful to be able to help support my family. There is no better feeling in the world, after needing to accept the help from several sources, than supporting ourselves. I will never forget what it feels like to pay for things with my money. Money Michael and I worked our tales off to make. Unless you have personally been through this you may not understand what's it's like. you may take it for granted because you have never had the opportunity to have to accept the charity and support of others. Although I am so grateful for the help and support we received when we were in school again, and will be forever paying it forward, I am more thankful than I have ever been to pay for what my family needs with money we EARNED.

Amen! We've been in both positions too. I always tell Matt I hope that we can SUPER pay it forward in years to come and help those that are in the same spot we were just a few short years ago. That is fantastic you can work for your mother in law from home, sounds like a perfect opportunity.
Been there done that! But I know many who have no clue as to what you are talking about. I guess their trials will come in a different way. I like Mosiah 4:24
