Please keep us in your prayers. You bet I will. Every night. I've done the unemployment thing and I can empathize.
I pray that you get a financial miracle and you and your family are blessed this Christmas season.
Stay strong and keep the faith. It's amazing how He brings us out of these things. He always does.

Trussell, my friend, my heart goes out for you and your family. I've had a few of these, including now and I do personally empathize. I've gotten so angry at commericials, all the merriment, for the media is what puts the pressure on us by commercializing Xmas.
So being I grew up right after the depression, in a large family with no dollars. I went back to that and thought what could I do.
It hurts , no doubt when there are children. But you know you love your kids 365 and so do they. I wish when mine were small there were dollar stores. But what we have used often is the note system. We either write IOU's or give the gift of ourselves to each person. My husband got his massage. My daughter I wrote a song for. My son I played silly Nintendo games, he knows I hate. Truly giving the gift of love teaches our kids what many families struggling know. So oft times, we can turn a sad, pressured time into a much needed lesson. Remember, sweetie, the Sunday funnies make great wrappping paper.
I will pray you find work soon Trussell and God Bless you and your family!
