Being a friend intimes of trouble

Another one of our friends has lost her job at the company my husband used to
work for. He left when the first round of packages were offered a few years ago. We were told it only gets worse and unfortunately it has. Now, more than ever it is important to be there for our friends in this position. These folks need encouragement, to know they are not alone and of course any contacts for future employment that all of us can come up with.

I cannot even imagine what the younger people must think of all this. But we oldsters must show them with support from friends and family, and the ability to reinvent yourself makes it possible to open a new door and leave the past behind. Praying for our dear friend and for all those who have lost their jobs in recent weeks, months and years. Praying that we can all reinvent ourselves and that this reinvention will bring new joy and hope and love in a career we can enjoy and not get bogged in what happened yesterday but look forward to today and all the great tomorrows that will happen as we change and grow and begin a new life.
