Today is my husband's last day of work until next year. Business is slow, so the holiday vacation is long. Hopefully when our government gets this fiscal cliff taken care of that will change. In my husband's industry, there is a large collective "hold your breath" party going on.
If everything government spends is cut by 10%, then they would know what to expect... however this continuous failure to make decisions has everyone concerned it may be more. Knowing God has always taken care of me reminds me to not work myself into a worried state. However, not every employee knows that, and some families already have lost one job. So, my husband isn't sleeping well. He was a major influence in helping me to not worry when we were younger, but this is an area where worry is hard for him to ignore.
Employees aren't exactly your children, but he does feel responsible for providing business and work for them so they're able to care for their families, pay their bills, and buy their homes. We'll be praying hard for the people in Washington D.C. to put their egos aside and do what needs done so our people can continue to work. It feels like they're playing chicken, but they're driving our cars, not their own.
If you could remember to add these concerns to your prayers, it would be a lovely Christmas gift for each of us. Thank you.
You're in my prayers.
