Life in Ukraine
Hard times
Good day, friends!
Our family goes through hard times...
This month I had just a few orders and some of them would be paid only in the next month...
And we still have to buy food, pay out bills for public utilities, buy necessary meds...
I work hard in my garden. I planted a few tens of tomato bushes and a few peppers.
I prepare the soil for cucumbers. This year is my first try to plant the cucumbers - I hope it will work out! Maybe, I will also plant some onions...
Today I borrowed from a neighbor old lady a bucket of potatoes... It cost only 1,2$, but I really don't like to make debts, so I hope to could pay this debt soon...
But there is a stable situation with electricity in Ukraine - and that is a good reason to thank God! All members of our family are together - praise God! As I mentioned in my last post, last month three of 4 of my kids spent some time in the hospital and my wife also had some trauma to her eye. Praise God, that did not cause any serious problems!
So many things we could thank God for! We live our lives and do not recognize that things that we consider as usual could disappear... So, give thanks to God for everything you have!
Also, I would be very thankful if you could pray for me after reading this post. And I continue to ask - if you could, please, share information about my translation services in your profiles. Even a small number of orders could save our family from falling into debts...
May God bless you and give you peace!
