How very moving and uplifting. I can see why the congregation complained when attempts were made to remove your letter from the bulletin board. You are right. It is very timely.

Oh, Y know so well the pain. I remember so well the times I was fired. Yes, times, it was more than two...The one that hurt the most was the year was son was entering college. God, in His infinite mercy, stepped in and all felt into place.

This is just beautiful. I love the way you wrote this letter. I'm sure it has helped a lot of people through difficult times, and helped them see that things can always be worst. We have to count our blessings. I'm glad you found your faith and everything that really counts.

    Thanks Harrisa - All I know is I was in a dark place then and I'm certainly not now. Thanks for your kind words!

What a beautifully thoughtful and well-written letter to the editor - no wonder they have it laminated and hanging in the church all these years. I cannot tell you enough how much I was moved by this - your thoughts on losing your job and then your reflections on the different people who needed prayers more than you. This truly is exceptional. Brooke :-)

Wow. This is amazing. I can see why it has a space that people want to read it over & over. I've sent it to 2 of my co-workers who just lost their jobs. This is really very touching!
Love, Samantha

Your letter is so meaningful. It is proof that all things happen for a reason, whether good or bad. In the end all life's experiences bring us back to God. So glad you found your way, your faith.

Awesome piece of writing. Bless You! B
