Moms try to keep up with everyone, taking care of many different aspects of family life and health. Dads are often working to provide for the family's financial needs and helping their children learn to be a part of society. Family relationships can be a challenge. There are single-parent homes. Some are dealing with long-term disease or illness. Many families are dealing with difficult step-parent or X-spouse situations. Think of those you know and love. Pray for marriages and parents-child relationships. Pray that our families will turn to God, and not be afraid or ashamed to ask for neighborly help when needed.

Hutto Businesses and Farmers also need your prayers. Starting a new business is difficult and it takes a while to get a good cash flow established. Long hours and much sacrifice is a part of the business plan. Farmers face many ups and downs. They work long hours when the weather cooperates, and some times they can only wait for the weather to clear. Farming plays a major role in the history and flavor of Hutto's culture.
