Keep Calm and Carry On / Day 20

Keep Calm and Carry On was a poster produced by the British government in 1939 during the beginning of the Second World War, intended to raise the morale of the British public in the event of invasion. It was rediscovered in 2000 and is now being reproduced all over the place. I see versions of it everywhere these days but today I feel inspired by it. I am a worrier and know that I worry about things that are crazy and are very minuscule in the grand scheme of things. Yesterday afternoon my husband called to tell me that at work all the managers had been called into a meeting to learn that due to rising costs and lower sales they were restructuring and unfortunately that meant that a lot of positions would be eliminated leading to a loss of jobs. They told them if their job was directly affected then they would receive a call within 1 hour to schedule a meeting. I imagine it was very hard for them all to "keep calm and carry on". We are very thankful that my husband did not get the call and that he was told today that he is safe. It's a sad time for a lot of people who lost their jobs and it's going to be a trying time even for those who got to stay on. So my hope is that everyone has the faith to "keep calm and carry on" knowing that everything happens for a reason. Please pray for those who lost their jobs (and buy Pepsi.)
"So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." ~Matthew 6:34
