There are some days when I can not even put into words just how thankful I am that Hector and I both have jobs. This week, I have been told by 4 friends that either they or their husbands have been laid-off.
There are some days when I can't even begin to explain how lucky I feel to have a roof over my head. Last week, I found out that a friend of mine lost her home and everything in it, to a fire. She, along with her husband and their 5 children, are now living in a hotel.
And there are some days when it is all I can do to thank God over and over and over again that Hector, our children and I are healthy. I have been following several other blog pages for friends and their families. It is draining, both physically and emotionally. But I continue to pray for Jonathan, Amy and her husband, Bill, baby Jonah, baby Stellan, baby Scotty, Clay, and so many others because I know that my friends would do the same for me.
And there are also my own family members who are struggling with health issues, with job concerns, with day-to-day challenges that make life so challenging.
Some days, my heart feels so heavy. And it's all I can do to simply say over and over again, thank you, God. Thank you that my family is healthy and that we have jobs. Thank you that we have a home and food to eat. Thank you for all of the little things that I take for granted. And please be with my friends and their families, as well as with my own family members, because even though my heart is heavy, I know that their hearts are even heavier.... Amen.
"Cast all your cares on the Lord, and He will sustain you." Psalm 55:22
