Jobs are Scarce

The Good News Today Is...I still have a job. We are hearing more and more about people who are losing their jobs. It is a scary time we live in. I am the prime breadwinner in our family, so losing my job could be devastating. I know how much money we are supposed to have in savings yet mine is empty - 3 kids in college last year and that pretty much took care of our savings. Yet I know we will make it through these times....I just don't know how. My job is fairly secure - though it is in the housing industry so.....anything could happen. As more people lose their jobs across the country, the crime rate is rising. Desperation is taking people down roads they would never have dreamed walking down. This is a time for us to rally and help our brothers and sisters who lose their jobs. Sometimes we can help financially - sometimes it's just encouragement we can offer. It is always in the back of my mind that if not for the grace of God - there go I. "Hear my prayer, O Lord; listen to my cry for mercy."Psa 86:6. When times look bleak look to God for your answers.
