Family business saved

Translated from Portuguese

Flora Caparros

In recent years the economic situation in Brazil has made it very difficult to be an owner of a small or medium-sized business. I was a business owner for many years, and found it helpful to know that"... whatever blesses one blesses all, as Jesus showed with the loaves and the fishes,—Spirit, not matter, being the source of supply" (Science and Health, p. 206). I applied my understanding of this not only in my personal life, but also in business.

My family has owned a mediumsized business for more than 40 years. About three years ago, our business went through a severe financial crisis. Many businesses in Brazil failed, and ours very nearly did. We had many debts, and our products were not well received in the market. We sought financial aid from the government and from banking institutions, but were turned down.
