Things Can Get Better

My husband was laid off on November 4 and started back to work yesterday full-time and is no longer laid off.  He was laid off for 4 months and not one time did we struggle.  He has a friend putting in a new restaurant and he hired my husband to work with him plus he worked with his current company 1-2 days a week.  They finished up the restaurant on Friday and on Saturday he was called and told he was no longer laid off.  Perfect timing but I know that wasn't just luck, it was God.  He made sure we had what we needed and he took care of us.  I know so many people are laid off right now, losing their homes, etc. and this country is in a sad state.  I know if we would all just turn to Jesus He would bring us out of this recession.  The sad fact is He won't do that because we won't has Him to.  Our leaders are not God fearing people (the majority) and it's sad.  I hate to start a "stink" but I did not want Obama to be president as I can't see that he is truly a Christian even though he says he is.  Jesus says you will know them by their fruits and I don't see any of his fruits.  One of the first things he did when he got into office was to cancel a bill Bush had set out to not give states money for abortion clinics.  He is now giving them that money.  A wonderful thing he did for us.  Now more babies will be killed at his hand.  Well, I could go on about Obama but I will not cause a fight here.  I am way too outspoken and can get myself in trouble!!  I hope everyone has a great day today and thank Jesus for everything we have!!!  I  have faith He will see us through this bad time.  

When in Doubt Look Up

Two years ago I received a giraffe for Christmas from a close friend.  He has a sign around his neck that says "When In Doubt Look Up".  I love it.  He sits out all year long and reminds me not to doubt that God is in control all the time.  My husband was laid off from work 3 weeks ago.  He is working 2-3 days a week and I work so we are fine but it is still scary.  I was driving to the grocery store the other day and just broke down and started crying.  It came from nowhere.  I am scared plain and simple.  I came home and saw that giraffe and thought of Jesus and how we don't need to be scared because He is with  us always - lean on Him - that is what He wants us to do and that's what I'm doing.
