MAGIC & MIRACLE in the MESS: Finding the Good During Unemployment
It's been an incredible week with a lot out pooring of love and kindness from many.
1) $100 and homemade cookies from our friend and ward member Kayleen. I know that is a sacrifice for them. Thank you.
2) $200 and a package of oreos showing up anonymously on our doorstep. Again, if you are reading this, thank you so much. It will help pay our mortgage and other bills.
3) $100 and crocheted hankerchief given at a huge sacrifice by my dear friend Katie. She crocheted baby hats and gave us the money for the sale. Again, this will help a lot in making our November mortgage payment and car payment.
4) 4 job interviews-- 2 from the same company. The place where he has interviewed twice is a big stable company where his math degree will be used and he already knows how to do a lot of the work. He is one of 4 or 5 candidates.
5)A TI 83 calculator for Johnny from my singles ward relief society presidentElisabeth.
6) Diapers from our sweet ward member and friend, Elisabeth.
7) My dear friend Deserét asking what she can do to help with Christmas.
8) All of the kind notes and comments just buoy me up.

2) $50 from one of my oldest friends, Deserét Baker, and I know that is a big sacrifice for her family.
3) $200 arriving in the mail from a good, kind friend.
4) over the counter drugs, dish towels and dish clothes, cleaning supplies, and shampoo from John's mom, Judy Robertson.
5) all the prayers. I know they are helping.
6) selling our broken minivan for $360
7) We had to get the brakes fixed on the van. Apparently the ball joints were busted too. We said to fix only the breaks because it would be $2,200. They decided to use cheaper parts and fixed everything for $1,450.

I love to hear the blessings you're noticing each week. I'm starting to do that in my journal also, and may post on my blog if I have time. I only have one job suggestion and that is maybe John could be a tutor at a community college until he finds a full time job. I don't know if it will work for you, but thought I'd throw that out there because it's working for us right now. Nathan tutors math and science from 9-3 M-Th. It only pays $14 an hour, but it's over $1000 a month and will pay our mortgage and utilities, so I'm grateful for that. We only have to put food, gas, and other incidentals on a credit card. I hope your trial ends soon! I can't imagine your patience. I've thrown in the towel plenty of times but I think you have it worse. Thank you for your example.
I really really love reading of your blessings each week. I love that you are keeping track. You have such a grateful heart and you will be blessed.
Hugs!
