Rita's Rants n Raves

And he is none other than GOD, for he is the one who sends us miracles and throughout my life I did have many to be thankful for. Last week I was bummed because my washing machine died. Only 2 years old and fixed once already it was time to get rid of the lemon. This put a big dent in my Christmas spending, not that I was going crazy like I always did, this year I put a tight reign on and told myself that we were going to NOT go crazy. Well today we received an e-mail from my boss who actually forwarded an e-mail from the big wigs stating that even though we had to let people go as a result of the real estate industry not doing great, we are all still getting a bonus on our next check. YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you GOD!!!!!! This was something I was not even thinking of, heck I was still praying to GOD that I was not the next person on the lay off list.
Of course all of us have different amounts, I guess they are going according to how long a person has been with the company. I don't care I am just thankful that we are getting one, something is better than nothing. My poor friend J, had just mentioned to me that my previous employers were not throwing a party (those were the days) nor are they giving out bonuses (which are alsp great). I guess I lucked out :)

But as I sit here typing for all to read, and listening to "O Holy Night" by Celine, I feel bad for those of my fellow workers that are not so lucky, that have no job, sure they can collect unemployeement but it is not the same. So I pray for them to receive a miracle this holiday season. I know that GOD will look over them.
