by without hearing on the news about layoffs, plant closings, business bankruptcies, and so on. I have always been thankful for my nursing career and the flexibility and security of my job. I haven't heard of any friends or relatives losing jobs lately, but in this economy it wouldn't surprise me.
I am always sad to hear about job loses right before the holidays, and wonder about the effect an families at Christmas. Perhaps this year we will be more aware of the true meaning of Christmas, instead of the material aspects.
As the congregational meeting is tonight I think about what the Church, and we as Christians, can do to help those around us celebrate Christmas appropriately.
Reminder: This is the season for lamp oil--Keep it Away from Children
