Good morning.
Good morning.
Take care.
Don't worry about anything.
Okay, bye.
Bye.
Alright, everyone ready to order?
Can I have a stack of pancakes with three strokes at a time?
Hey!
Hey guys, why don't you guys go upstairs and play, okay?
Okay.
I've been on the computer all morning looking for work.
I'm just, I'm just taking a little break.
You know there's nothing out there.
I've looked everywhere, it's frustrating.
You mean nothing that suits you.
What's that supposed to mean?
Peter, it's been eight months.
I'm not going to take just anything.
I know, I know, with your education and experience.
Do you think that it was my dream to wait tables?
Did you at least feed the kids?
Hi, Gus McLaren, Highline Realty.
If you'd like to sell, we can help you with a short sale.
I'm not interested.
Yeah, but you.
My card.
I know how hard this has been on you and the kids.
Do you really?
You've got to be kidding me.
Are you having fun?
I'm sorry.
Our old stationery.
Godliness with contentment is a great gain.
Remember when we had these printed?
When Pastor Mike made the entire congregation memorize the passage.
It seems like a lifetime ago.
Before we brought nothing into this world.
And we can take nothing out of it.
But if we have food and clothing.
We would be content with that.
Easier is that than done.
We could always move into an apartment.
Put some of this stuff in storage.
Have another garage sale.
You've got to be kidding.
This was not our dream Peter.
You were supposed to make partner.
I was going to be a stay at home mom.
I know.
But sometimes things don't always go according to plan.
This is just a temporary setback.
We're going to get through this.
We're just going to have to continue to cut back.
Cut back?
We're already down to one car.
Our grass is dead because we can't afford to water it.
In case you haven't noticed.
You haven't exactly been providing us with steak and caviar.
This is not my fault.
Do you know what it feels like to be a man staying at home while his wife is out working?
Then do something about it.
I've seen the postings.
The jobs are out there.
Stop waiting around for the perfect job that's worthy of you.
Your family needs you.
Where are you going?
I don't know.
Your kids go to your rooms.
I don't know.
Terri?
Terri?
Elaine?
Is everything alright?
Has someone hurt?
We're being foreclosed.
Oh for heaven's sake.
You just about gave me a heart attack.
Oh honey, come here.
It's going to be okay.
I can't believe the things that are coming out of my mouth.
Becoming a monster.
Why would God allow something like this to happen to us?
God rarely answers why.
But he does answer how?
How?
How can I use what's happening for good?
How can it help in my growth?
How can I then help others?
How can it deepen my relationship with him?
Relationship?
All Pete and I ever get when we pray to God is silence.
We feel like he's abandoned us.
I've been there.
I hate it.
But trust me, regardless of what happens in life,
God does not abandon you.
And you know, even his silence can be a good thing.
What?
It's serious.
It's like this tree.
When there's plenty of water, the roots just stay on the surface.
But in times of drought, the water isn't so easy to come by.
Well that's when it sinks its roots down deep into the earth.
And that's when the tree becomes its strongest.
When it can weather the storms.
When it reaches its fullest potential.
So what do we do?
I mean now.
What are we supposed to do now?
Take a good hard look at what really matters.
Even now, you are so much more fortunate than others.
Be grateful for that.
Hang on to that.
And try to be willing to let the other stuff go.
You know, I learned a long time ago that you can't control your circumstances.
But you can't control how you respond.
It's going to be alright.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
I'm sorry.
Me too.
What are you doing?
Well, you're right.
I have to stop being so picky.
I'm going to find a job that's not too awful.
And I'm going to be thankful for it.
Really?
Yeah.
Godliness with contentment, babe.
Godliness with contentment.
I'll go get dinner started.
Alright, thanks.
I cleaned up a bit.
Who are you?
And what have you done with my husband?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Come on.
Oh, my gosh, that's awesome.
Bye.
Okay, I'll call tonight.
Okay, I'll be home.
Bye.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
