Let me just say one more thing for today.

Do not judge anyone who has lost their job recently due to recession. Actually, we are not to judge at all, but I do know how hard it can be to completely rid yourself of the act of judging, but let’s all try shall we?

We are all different people living in the same world. Some may easily be able to find a job they love; some may be able to live happily taking a job they hate, but not everyone. Each and every situation is different, so if your comments are going to be judgmental, negative or diminishing in any form or fashion, keep them to yourselves. Right now is a time of encouragement, support and new beginnings. Although these things seem righteous, they are not always easy.

Next time you talk to someone who has been laid off, just remember as you are asking them how the job search is going that you do not know their whole story and you do not know their heart. You may be able to understand the panic and the sadness, but your solutions are not mine. Your answers and pathways are different then the ones He has for me.

If you cannot understand what it is someone needs, then just listen and be understanding even if you really cannot understand.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
