Doreen, you are in my prayers! In 2002 my husband had lost his job, and we lost everything we had...our house and 2 new cars. Thank God he was only without work 15 days and we were back on our feet soon after. We kept our faith, even when times were tough...after all how bad could it had been? We lived in a hotel for almost a year, but we still had each other! And if you have each other, and your love for each other, you can get through anything!! Hang in there sweetie! This too shall pass!
The truth is everyone is going to hurt you.
You just have to decide who is worth the pain

Thank you jon. of course this could be a blessing in disguise. We are hoping for a couple opptions opening up soon. With husbands 2nd job
and my extra hrs. it may help us for him to stay till this summer and see if full shut down happens, at least he'd get his payout.

Well, this strikes close to home. Living in a rural area, I've danced the thin line of staying employed. Whether through luck or judgment, I've avoided companies that went under, and left others shortly before they did. Self employed 10 years now, but much of that has been a monthly struggle to get by.

I hope this doesn't sound trite, but situations like this can often be a blessing in disguise. It's easy to say keep an open mind about alternatives, but I do speak from experience that sometimes these situations present a chance to take a different path. I've managed to get by with relatively small course changes, but others I know have made radical changes and succeeded. There is probably little that could be more frightening to the breadwinner, than making such a change. But the working world is changing, and sometimes such change is ultimately unavoidable.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, that something good comes your way and soon!

Jon

Not silly in the least to ask for prayer Doreen. A lot of fellas about my state are losing their jobs and it is darn scarey and very frustrating to the man who is the sole breadwinner in the family. Besides that it really deflates a mans ego to not be working. How awful the double whammie about your freezer taking a dive and losing all your meat to boot. NEVER FEEL DORENE that you cannot ask for prayer or somebody eleses woes are much more than yours. We are all here to support one another. Do let us know when his job starts until then prayers and hugs ~Jacie~

ALAN JACKSON LYRICS

"Little Man"

I remember walk'in round the court square sidewalk
Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want
There's johnson's hardware and morgans jewelry
And the ol' Lee king's apothecary
They ware the little man
The little man

I go back now and the stores are all empty
Except for an old coke sign from 1950
Boarded up like they never existed
Or renovated and called historic districts
There goes the little man
There goes the little man

Now the court square's just a set of streets
That the people go round but they seldom think
Bout the little man that built this town
Before the big money shut em down
And killed the little man
Oh the little man

He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass
And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat
The new stores came where you do it yourself
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf
Forget about the little man
Forget about that little man

He hung on there for a few more years
But he couldn't sell slurpees
And he wouldn't sell beer
Now the bank rents the station
To a down the road
And sell velvet Elvis and
Second-hand clothes
There goes little man
There goes another little man

Now the are lined up in a concrete strip
You can buy the world with just one trip
And save a penny cause it's jumbo size
They don't even realize
They'er killin' the little man
Oh the little man

It wasn't long when I was a child
An old black man came with his plow
He broke the ground where we grew our garden
Back before we'd all forgot about the little man
The little man
Long live the little man
God bless the little man

With everyone else needing help I know this is
silly, but with my husbands job almost done and waiting to here if he's got knew job. Our freezer
crashed taking all the meat with it.
We'll manage but was hoping you could pray for him getting this job.
Thanks
doreen
