God supplied us every step of the way

From the April 2025 issue of The Christian Science Journal


My husband and I were nearing our retirement years, and I knew we needed a change so that we could retire. We both worked heavy-labor, low-paying self-employed jobs that offered no benefits, and we also had no savings. We were living paycheck to paycheck.

This was not just a desire but also a logical investment, since my husband and I had learned how to remodel houses. But we didn’t have enough income or other viable options to buy another house. So, I turned to God in prayer and asked Him what we should do.
