Unemployment Benefits and why they are awesome

My husband lost his job in July of 2009. He began receiving unemployment in September of that year and has continued up until this point. We have been blessed every time these benefits have been extended. He has continually been looking for a job and has not found something that would be to support us or be more than the benefits. And so he is still out of work and collecting. My husband has worked since he was 15 years old. He has been paying into the unemployment collections for at least 15 years. I am nervous and anxious for what is going to happen to us when these benefits run out in the next few weeks. We are still struggling even with this awesome benefit but have made ways to make it work.
I used to be against people who took the unemployment. I had these notions that these people were lazy and couldn't find work. Now being one of them, I realize its a different reality when the difference in getting a check means if I can shop to put food on our table. Praise the Lord for His blessings and provisions.
Praise the Lord for His perfect plan for our lives. Praise His name for His perfect timing.
