Guennie, Stepping out of lurker mode for a moment...Is this son you are speaking of the one who lost his job fairly recently? If so, please tell him to NEVER give up or lose heart.

My husband has been unemployed for a year and a half. He is a highly qualified electronics engineer and has sent out over 250 resumes for jobs he was well matched to. He had only 3 interviews in that time period. BUT...just this week he was finally offered a job, in his field, and at a large local company.

It truly seems a miracle to us because he is 60 years old and most jobs are going to the younger people these days. We just kept trusting that God would provide, and in the meantime our job was to set a good example of faith and trust. Our survival mode consisted of staying home a lot and spending as little money as possible.

It is hard to do...VERY hard. But with the faith that you all have, I am certain that something good will turn up for him. I hope these don't just sound like empty words ...I mean them as encouragement from someone who has recently lived through the angst and anxiety that this situation produces.

Prayers and best wishes to you and your family.
