Please remember our family in prayer. My husband's department where he worked was 'eliminated' after 31 years with the same company.
Thank God we are fine financially for a while, but our big concern is health coverage. My husband is only 54 but had quintuple bypass surgery six years ago - yes! at 48! - and so has a pre-existing condition.
He and our son are going to start their own company, so please pray as they step out into this new venture.
Thanks so much. - Donna

Donna,
Will keep your family in my prayers. God loves us all and I know He will guide and protect you all; His love is unconditional and freely given.

The saying "If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it" popped in my mind as soon as I saw your post. Though not by choice, this may be a golden opportunity for your husband and son! I am praying it will be as well as the spirit of your husband does not become downtrodden during this difficult time.
May God Bless your house.

Thank you for your prayers. God only knows how much I appreciate it.
Don got the extended coverage through Cobra. It is expensive, but we have no choice.
He got his first assignment as a self-employed contractor yesterday. When he said something about being 'unemployed' our son reminded him, "Dad, you're SELF-employed now." LOL! He set his dad straight. Teehee.
I'm working on all his proposal, etc. today, so I've got my hands full, too.
Thanks again! Donna

Donna: Loosing a job, for whatever reason, can be devastating for a marriage. I'm glad to know that your husband has an option. Being self-employed has many challenges too, but God will see you through. My husband has been self-employed for some time now and the Lord has provided steady work throughout the years, with only word-of-mouth advertising. God is sooo good! I've added your family to my prayer list and wish your family the best.
