Tough times....

Hi all,
Today at work, somewhere between 60 and 70 people were told that they were going to be temporarily laid off. This is the third layoff in the last year. It's been hard to wait, knowing something would happen, hard to hear who was hit, and hard to imagine how worried and scared they must be. So far, we have both not been chosen, but some of our friends have.
Times are tough all over the world these days. Watching the news is almost painful. The stock market, the economy, today I even read about how the suicide rate is going up because people are losing everything. It is scary, and sad, and upsetting.
Last night, when I was trying unsuccessfully to go to sleep, I wondered how we would make ends meet if we were laid off. We're having a hard time now, without one of our incomes I don't know what we would do. I tried to prepare myself - what would I say - try not to cry till you get home - things like that.

But, a little voice reminded me that if God knows the number of hairs that I have on my head, and if He knows each time a sparrow falls, surely He will take care of us.
This is the scripture that has given me peace. We will be all right. It will work out.

May God's peace give my friends rest, too - all over the world.
Blessings,
Lisa
