I was talking with a guy who works in our fabrication shop the other day and he was telling me how he and his wife were put in jail for a year because of an accusation made by someone who lived in another state. God, I truly thank you for my little Alexis, my little 'Love'. Being her Dad is my joy in a bowl of typical life, my sunshine under a storm of looming negativity so bright that it clears it all up in an instant. Being her Dad is and will be my greatest honor for the rest of my life. Through all of my bad times, or what seemed or seem like the very worst times, the fact that God chose me to help look after this sweet little child often makes me feel like the richest man on the planet, even when I'm flat broke with no solutions to my grown-up problems anywhere in sight.

I love the happiness within this child's heart, as well as the innocence & goodness. It is extremely rare to ever see even the look of discontent on this child's face, and though it does happen, it happens less frequent than with anyone else I personally know. Nothing ever seemed, or for that matter, seems to bring her down to this day. I also kept watching that beautiful and wonderful little gift from God smile so joyfully and happily through it all. Day after day, week after week, I prayed, I searched, I attempted, got rejected, and prayed some more.

So many past accomplishments and innovative ideas shinned out of my past work history and yet for some reason people kept ignoring my potential, and my family's need of an honest income.

My little girl helped me push forward, to keep trying after being rejected time-and-again, even though I had proven over and over in the past that my skill, knowledge, passion, and experience for my job sometimes seemed phenomenal to some, even impossible to others. Eventually all of those thoughts which I had lingered on for so many hours were proven to be false planted there by someone with less moral character than the typical "dirt-bag". Through all of our hard times though, our hungry nights, days upon days of hopeless thoughts of being a failure, or useless, or unwanted and unneeded, somehow my little girl always picked me up and gave me a reason to not only struggle on, but to smile while I was doing so.

For two years prior to struggling, there was no income at all or very little, and that was even harder than barely making it. 27 "But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,Ģ8 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.Ģ9 "Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also and whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either.ģ0 "Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.ģ1 "Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.ģ2 "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.ģ3 "If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.ģ4 "If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount.ģ5 "But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.ģ6 "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.įor a long time now, my family has struggled to get by on my income.
