I am so sorry to hear about this "development". It is just plain cruel for employers to do this sort of thing at the holiday season.

I will definitely keep you in my prayers that something even better will come your way.

Morning Glory

I will keep you in my prayers too. The timing probally has to do with the contract dates Albertson's has with this other company. That is a bad deal too. I have been involved with management decisions where we have actually decided to fire someone but to wait until after Christmas to tell them. That is probally more common in smaller companies.

So sorry, Amelia. I'll be praying for you.

I didn't know you were a food broker. I have a good friend who has done several things in the food management business. She was a food broker for several years, but her company lost some of their big contracts, just like your situation, so she got out before her employer went broke. Since then she has been in a food manufacturing business... whenever a company needs to have something like a nutrition bar manufactured, she calculates the protein, fats, carbs, etc., and sends it to the test kitchen for putting together a new product. Then if the customer likes it and orders a big supply, she makes a commission - besides her regular salary.

God bless you in your creative search for new work.

Praying for you Amelia!

Oh, Amelia! I will pray. I have every confidence that God has something wonderful in store for you. Take courage; you have many people who care about you and we will all support you.

The Lord does not let anything happen to us we can not handle - with HIS help. He is always there.

I want to thank everyone who has prayed for me in this situation. God is truely good even though I have not been very attentive to Him of late. He has sent a few opportunaties my way recently. Even if these don't pan out, I can see my Father is still blessing me. I am so unworthy. PRAISE Him for His faithfulness.

He is good Amelia.

He is showing me that too this week - a few issues which I will not discuss (not family/marriage, that is all fine) - He makes provision for our needs and helps us get a better look at ourselves along the way.

Amelia,

I will pray for you... but having been the blessed recipient of several layoffs in my career, may I offer this?

Although it felt like the end of the world at the time, when I prayed my way through it, the next stage of my life that Abba took me to was so awesome, so wonderful, and soooo much better in so many ways that I could only praise Him.

And in every case, had I not been part of a layoff, I would have missed out on His blessings totally!

Prayers ascending for a long time, Amelia.

Hang in there Amelia! You are SOOOO loved by God (and us!) God's not finished blessing you yet.

You are so faithful to bring things to our attention, report the unusual, find the most amazing photo's of things that I have ever seen, and I could go on and on.

You are one of the most amazing ladies I've ever "known" and I personally have been so blessed by you.

Still praying for you!
