Time

Suddenly it looks like there is a lot more of it, while all at once, time has run out.
Twenty minutes ago, Dan called to say that he had been laid off at work today.
The crazy thing?  They made him lay of two members of his teams before they gave him the news.
The whole of me wants to cry and flail and gnash my teeth and sink to the ground in despair.
The small part of me, deep down inside reminds me that I had been praying for Heavenly Father to take a hand in Dan's work situation.  It had become unbearable for him.  In my prayers I reminded Him how much Dan is serving right now and how thin he is stretched, making looking for another job nearly impossible.
If this is the answer, who am I to complain?

I say this now with a severance package to tide us over for the next few months.
