My husband and I are in our late 60s and have to go back to work after the stock market took most of our retirement. It's hard to find a job when you are older so I am cleaning two houses a day and he is working as a security guard. But we are so blessed because we found jobs and we are both still physically able to work.

My family is not in financial crisis…but there are some things that have tested my faith in this last 18 months. I have become broken and numb and afraid of most things that used to make me happy. I think the fear of doing them is that I know how happy they once made me and I am afraid that the joy will be taken from me if I do them and feel anything.
I have tried not to allow my life issues to invade my blog, but the last few days, I have seen so many posts where my friends have revealed their inner pain, that I wonder if it is a sign or something that I am not alone as I struggle to make my life whole.
Thank you for posting this post today … I do spend a lot of time helping others, and I have seen how when the tables turn, those "friends" who have leaned on you for so much, suddenly disappear and you realize how alone you are. Whispers and snickers ….gossip and betrals.
Family is shallow ( in my case) and I have in the last year seen how cruel people you love can be. My heart really goes out to the two ladies you shared with us today, and so many of the others that I have seen this week. My prayers go to them all.

In 2007 my husband lost his job. In 2008, I lost my job. My husband is now retired. We live on his pension and social security. It has been so tough on us. Oh, and my son lost his job of 22 yrs. and is living with us. He did manage to find work but at a significant pay loss. However, my friends have seen us through the last two Christmas holidays. If it were not for them, no one would have had a Christmas. For 9 months we had to live off of our retirement savings so the money is no longer there. We were so blessed to have friends who really care about our situation, even more so than our own families. Since then, I have really tried to bless others as much as possible, even if it cannot be financially.
Great post Cheri.

We went through bad times like that in the 80s, Kids were little babies and Hubby lost job. At that time there were no jobs to be had. He found another, but than they started to lay off too. He than found a part time job and decided to go to school. It was so hard, but we made it.

We were find until a few weeks ago and now things have changed again. Even though Hubby still has a job with the same company he works on a day to day basis.

I have learn that we take one day at a time and trust in God.

The world has always been an uncertain place, but this economy is something I have never seen before. I live in a hard hit area and my heart goes out to so many affected by a job loss, which also means loss of health insurance and all the uncertainty that goes with it. I am running a post on my blog about a woman who has been fixing up women and children shelters for free. If we all help when we can we will get through this together.

Wow!
Yes, I will ask God how I can be a blessing to someone.
