Times are hard economically for everyone right now. Many are without jobs, housing prices are down, and the Stock Market is lower than it's been in years; to my knowledge, since the Depression. While I was just out taking a walk around the block, I saw a house with a sign on a tree that said, "Handyman and Lawn Repair -- No job to great or small!" with a phone number listed. It made me wonder, is this the sign of a man who lost his job and is looking for some supplemental income until he's able to find a job again?
I'm truly grateful for the jobs that Paul and I have. They may not be the greatest, or something we want to do for the rest of our lives, but we live comfortably. We are able to buy everything we need, and many times the things we want, while still having enough to pay our tithing and pay into our savings. This, I know, is truly a blessing from God during these times. I pray that our blessing will not be taken for granted, and that we will also continue praying for those around us who are not so blessed financially.
Now, off to do some pennysaving on our groceries at our neighborhood Walmart SuperCenter...

I feel exactly the same way. We have all we need and for that, I am exceedingly grateful!
I, too, am grateful for the job i have and the job security it brings during these times.
I, however, am not shopping at Walmart!
