Time to refine - not always easy to know when or where to start.

Sometimes, we do not get to choose when or how to rifine ourselves.  I learned this recently when I had lost my job of 10 years to a company I had devoted some of my finest efforts to.   Having taken most of the time since october to get unemployment benefits going, I have had to refine a great many things.  Namely, the following:

• My sense of gratitude
• My sense of purpose
• Feelings of contentment, joy and thankfulness
• Forgivenesss
• Feelings of love and relationship provided by my dear girlfriend Sheli who has been nothing but a blessing and encouragement during this trial period in my life.
• I truly feel that I am better off having gone through this and had sheli with me than to have failed to see the benefit of working hard through adversity.

Thank You Lord, for providing a way for me to continually improve myself in this tough time and showing me that you are ALWAYS there, despite my worries and other feelings of insecurity.
