all i want for Christmas

I meant to share this last week but so many things got in the way and if I could ask for a favor, I promise to reciprocate.  My husband was notified a few weeks ago that after 15 years of working for the same company, his position will no longer exist as of the 27th of this month.  We have raised our family while he has worked there and there are so many decisions to make right now.
We have been blessed with other offers but they all consist of making a move and the thought of leaving our home, our Moss Flower Farm, friends, our church community and the beauty that surrounds us is just heart breaking.
Could I ask for your prayers and I will in turn of course pray for you also.
Right now, there is so much I want but none of can be purchased at a store.
I want 
to know where we will live
what the immediate future holds for our family
if I will get to plant my spring garden
if this will be our last Christmas here

will we have to be apart if he has to move while we settle our home issue
to know if I can start the kitchen redo
most of all I want to feel settled again.
All I do know is that where Poppa is, there is my heart.  And in his heart is my home.

    Praying for you Tricia and Annie. I love your blog, Tricia, and feel truly inspired each time I visit. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ Our Lord help you through this difficult period. Maybe all your readers would be interested in praying a novena to the child Jesus for you and all families experiencing this difficulty. I would most definitely be on board. Lots of love to you and yours, Carolina

    Tricia, I'm sure things are feeling crazy and overwhelming at the moment. Life stuff such as jobs etc have a way of working out, sometimes not the way we expected but often in a surprising and positive ways. I hope this is true for you and your family. Thinking of you Elicia

    Prayers for all of you, hoping these challenges lead to something good.

    Keeping you in my prayers. It is hard for us to understand why these things happen, but keep your heart open, mind clear, and let God lead you the way you were meant to go. A new town could mean a new opportunity to spread God's grace to someone that doesn't know who He is.

    Hi Trica, circumstances have decided that my husband has had to 'quit' his winter job that he done for the last 13yrs, so we are a little uncertain as to how things will go for the next few months. But here in France we say that somethings are a 'mal pour un bien' a bad thing which will lead to a good thing! I hope this will be the case for your family and that you will be able to keep you house and all that is dear to you in your community.

    You got me boohooing over here! You and the other commenters are in our prayers. We're facing rough times too, and your remark about your home being where poppa is rings so true with me and Marcus. Thank God for our men!

    Just prayed and will pray some more! And for Annie the commenter above me too. Many blessings and much comfort to you and yours! Also, I love your blog.

    I will definitely pray for you Tricia. I have a similar request in that my husband has been unemployed for a VERY long time and we are getting close to the end of our "reserves". We are also expecting our 5th blessing in June. To say that I am anxious is an understatement. I'm trying to rely on the Lord, but there are moments and days when it is very hard. If you could spare a prayer for my family, that my husband gets a job soon, I would greatly appreciate it! God bless you!
