Something Beautiful

Our family had been packing with excitement for our move into the new house. Then, unexpectedly, my job was terminated two days after our mortgage was approved. Uncertainty loomed all around us. We had two children at college and an increased mortgage to pay. I did not know where to turn for help, so we all sat down and prayed. That time together brought us closer to one another. After that, our love for the Lord and for each other became stronger day by day. When I had been unemployed for over two months, God opened new opportunities that I had never imagined before. 

Now I am working at a place where I am able to witness for the Lord more than before. We would not swap our experience during this difficult time for anything else. When we do not understand how God is working in our lives, we can pray and trust that he can work bad things for good. God can make something beautiful out of a difficult situation.
