Love made into Paper Airplanes

I don't often post about things like this for reasons that might be obvious. But I have to share the precious heart of my 6 yr old daughter. My husband has been layed off from a job he held for 11 yrs. It was a good job, and we were doing well as a 1 income family. It has been hard, and I am sure this is just the beginning. We've often told the kids straight out, we can't buy that because we have no money because daddy doesn't have a job. When we pray, we pray for everything, for God to provide, for daddy to get a job, for us to be able to buy groceries and so on. So this morning when the children were done doing their chores and daily school work, my youngest two girls, Alexa and Breanna were crafting in the school room. This is always a pet peeve of mine, I don't like when they make messes!! Sigh...then Breanna came out asking me how to spell things. So I figured that it would be good writing practise!!
This is what she made:The sign says: Selling Airplanes and Pictures and she posted it on our dining room window

And here are what they made:
The reason, "so we can have money cause we don't have much" in Breanna's words. Kept close to the front door just in case anyone comes. Oh my heart aches for my children, and in a good way, love. I love them soooo much!! Such precious hearts. Ever so thank-ful we are shepherding their hearts at home.

The paper airplanes were $2 each, and the picture I think was 25cents. (just curious, who are you anonymous?)
