What is the fear that embraces you?

One of my greatest dream in life is to give my parents the life that they didn't experience in their younger age,I want to give them everything that they want, but life is not that easy, for you to earn a decent living you need to exert almost all of your effort. I am a regular employee in an advertising and promotions agency, working eight hours a day for a minimum wage, the money that i earned from work is just enough for our basic needs, I can't even enjoy going out with my friends. My parents are getting older, I somehow feel that I'm running out of time, that I may not be able to fulfill my dreams for them, and that's the fear that embraces me now. I just continue praying to God and believe that He has a great plan for me and for my family.

You sound like a very giving person. I too want to do for others, mostly my children.I'm 64 years old and live on low wages, finding it very hard to enjoy the simple things, I'm at a point where I don't think I'll be able to continue paying for this internet service. But I guess I survived without before, I can do it again. I too pray, but I believe that God knows better what I need than I do. Sometimes I think it's just not my turn.
