Everyday..... you hear of wrecks, storms, violence and sickness taking the lives of the elderly all the way down to the young.
Everyday....you hear of another female with breast cancer, or another person with some type of cancer.
Everyday.....you hear of another home that has been broken up.
Life is Unpredictable!
Roger was told at his secular job a year and half ago that they were going to out-source the IT Department to a company in India. Since....they keep getting mixed info. They've been told that it will not affect any of his group............they've been told that it will affect the entire group and they've been told that it will affect some of the group..............but it will happen over the next few years.
Roger will be 62 in March.....so he felt comfortable. At 62 he could take an early retirement....from his secular job and be able to spend more time working at church.
He's made it this far...........and the company never does anything major except the first of the year or the first of the summer.............those are the "change times"....normally.
Monday, in a meeting, he was told that they are doing away with his position....it is being out-sourced to India and his last day will be November 10......4 1/2 months too early to retire early. Whewww.......
They had warned them.........................but when they actually told him......it caught him off guard and even hurt his feelings.....................he's put in 20+ years with the company and worked many, many hours on salary with no over-time.
It is what it is.
Then....yesterday was our anniversary. Since today was my first day back to school with students all day.............we decided to celebrate our anniversary on Friday night............so we could enjoy it and not be stressed.
Roger had already taken the day off work so when I came home today.................I walked into this..............
If you look carefully you will see where my stove and sink was this morning when I left for work.
(We are right in the middle of completely remodeling our kitchen.....new appliances....new cabinets......walls knocked down...etc.)
Life is Unpredictable!
I guess I say all of this to say........................life rarely runs smooth without any bumps in the road.
We must keep our eyes on God and know that He is Still in Control....................regardless of what "hand of cards" have been dealt to you.
.........sickness.....loss of jobs......death.......messy houses......------just remember.....no matter what you face............the world is watching you to see how YOU handle it....be it little or small.
Let's let others see Jesus through you!
