My dad forwarded this link to me in an E-mail. It shows the monthly breakdown of the unemployment rate over the last 2.5 years. When it gets closer today it is truly startling.
This is not meant to make a political statement at all. I have heard members of my congregation talk about being laid off, and they are tough stories to hear.
My heart goes out to those who are unemployed. People are not likely to publicly say they are unemployed, yet they are part of our congregation and our community. They still feel a call to give to the church, but are also struggling to provide for themselves and their families.
I ask that today (and always) we pray for those who are unemployed.
