But its not. Its Saturday. Still, Drew and I rise at our usual time and head out the door to work. He to the driveway work, I to the office to work on DMin papers. I have a reference shift from noon to 4 anyway. This is good. So many people are out of work. The experts may be saying we are in a better position, but I just don't see it yet. Our organization is watching every penny, downsizing everywhere possible, and predicting a slim season. I don't think this economic situation is over by any means.
One could hope with an election upcoming that the party in power might see fit to ease our struggles by way of seeking votes, and indeed, gas prices took a temporary bob downward for all of a week or so. But they are once again on the rise leaving us with finding creative ways to deal with less purchasing power and strategizing about what to cut next. Thank the good Lord, I have always had what I needed when I needed it. I have every faith that will continue no matter how bleak the picture. And I fully realize my responsibility to extend a hand to those around me in need. What I have is not mine to hoard, but only there for sharing.
May God give me the grace to be faithful in generosity and up to the task.
