Thankful November, Day 5

Today, I am thankful for my husband's employment. I have to say, he has never been unemployed in all the years we have been married. I've never had to worry about where the paycheck was coming from, I've never worried about health insurance. I feel so blessed that Loren has always been able to provide for our family, that I haven't had to work except for the time he was in college. Otherwise, my working has always been volunteer.

When Loren was in college, he was not in the military anymore, but he was on an Army ROTC scholarship which was employment for our family, we did not have health insurance during that three years from the military, but we had Medicaid. I worked part time to help make ends meet and used other creative financing like food stamps, WIC, and the HEAT program in Utah. with the exception of this three year period of time, we have always had employment, and insurance.

I do feel blessed that we we have had a blessed life. I do know that the fact that Loren's never been on unemployment is an even bigger blessing, especially with the economy today where so many find themselves unemployed.

I am thankful for the stability that employment has brought our family. I am thankful that Loren has never sought big business, or corporate America.

God blesses our life in ways I can not even comprehend.
