Encouragement...

I try to be an encoragement to others. Lately I have found it very hard to do so. I have felt sorta boxed in and overwhelmed. I feel like most folks don't care what I do. Hard to be a smileing chipper person when you feel like a lot of your friends don't even care.
I am trying to encourage me wife. I love her to death. She is trying a new diet plan that decreases calories and for now it seems to be working. She has lost 8 pounds in a little over a week...yeah her! I pray she keeps it up...she is a beautiful woman.
I am praying for my children too. I want a better realationship with my son. He is so much like me it is scarey...which makes it harder..since we know what each other are thinking.
I pray that God will grant me the grace to deal with all the junk life throws at us and that my wife will find a full time job soon.
As always..I will keep my chin up and keep trying to be mr chipper....
