I remember my husband Norm’s early years as a DJ. Jobs were abundant and he had the advantage of deciding which radio job offer suited him best.

Today, good jobs are scarce. Applicants often settle for positions far below their qualifications and years of experience. They don’t quibble about salary or benefits; unemployment money is temporary. A full time position will get the jobless back in the workforce.

Employers have dropped health insurance; pulled pensions and tossed tenure.

Farewell to fringe benefits.

Say hello to God’s blessings and benefits!

“Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's (Psalm 103:1-5 HCSB).”
