Betty, so sorry to hear about Alfred losing his job but I LOVE your attitude. We will add you to our Prayer Chain and may God see you through again. I was prepared to flip burgers at McDonalds if our business didn't make it and so far it's been great but alot of others have not been as lucky.

Most of the large mills around are closing and that makes the rest of the economy go down. However the state is working on schooling and programs for the workers here. Hope things work out for you and Alfred and will be looking forward to hearing from you.

You will be missed.

There Is Hope...
I believe you know, that with God - All Things Are Possible.

If there is anything I can do..please don't hesitate..

Betty...I've added "Alfred" to my prayers...good thoughts coming your way to both of you as you turn this over to God. Sounds like you've journeyed this way together before...so God bless & keep you both safely in His hands. Jeanne S.

Betty, we will miss you so much on here. You are always so enthusiastic and such a pleasure and we all just love your posts. I can understand why you feel you need to take a break and work through this stressful time. Please don't forget to come back to us.

You and Alfred have so many friends and have come through so many tough times--I just know God will help you through this one too. Just makes me want to cry that so many good people are having to face such tough times because of this economy. You have my email also if you ever just need to vent or want to talk.

Prayers and hugs,
Luvs

Betty, I am so sorry to hear this news. Will hold you and Alfred close in heart and prayers. And will miss you on here terribly. You are a shining light in my Life. If there is any way I can help with an ear or shoulder, its yours!

love you guys,
Karen

I'm so sorry for our husband, Betty! And will cross my fingers for the both of you finding a solution to cope with this situation!

It's my hope for everyone that this unsecure economical situation comes to an end soon!

I admire your faith and your positive attitude, Betty! I'll keep you both in my prayers.

Hugs to you both. I will have you in my special thoughts.

Like you said, you have been through so much..you are in my prayers.
So many out of work, and doesn't seem to be improving..let's hope it does soon..

Sending positive thoughts your way. My husband is in the automotive industry and was out of work for almost 8 mos. I thank God we had money to get through it(sure wrecked havoc with the kids college fund) Now he is back to work but it is out of state/country. And though it is hard, it beats being homeless. Hope things work out for you.

Betty,
I have been gone myself for a while but I wanted to wish you and Alfred the best of luck and many good thoughts. You are both strong people and your attitude alone will make a big difference.

Mo, we have missed you--hope you are coming back to play with us again--and that everything is okay in your life.

Gardner, I'm sorry you DH is having to work away from home. I know the auto industry was really hard hit this past year, so many lots are now vacant.

Sure hoping and praying that things will turn back around soon.

Betty,
Your faith and attitude will pull you through this problem, and I am sure that He is watching over you as He has in the past. You two will be in all of our prayers and we will look forward to your coming back to join us.
