God is good!

After enduring the blow that my son-in-law would be unemployed, with no warning, due to the sale of the golf course where he works, Nathan is now re-employed as superintendent of another course nearby!  He got the word of his termination at the old course last Wednesday.  He interviewed at the new course on Monday.  They offered him the job, and he accepted today.  Hallelujah!!

The whole thing is somewhat bitter/sweet.  The kids were so delighted that Nate was employed at a really nice course near Muncie.  They bought a house and sat back to enjoy their first opportunity as young folks to enjoy the American Dream.  A scant year later, they were back to Square One, but only for a very short time!  The former superintendent of the "new" golf course died in a house fire last fall, and although the course interviewed people for the position, they apparently didn't like the applicants because the position has remained unfilled all winter...until now.  What are the odds??  The new workplace is about the same distance from their house, but in a different direction.  Whew!

Do I believe for a moment that all of this is coincidence?  Not on your life!  Everything is somewhat up in the air, but my children won't lose their house and my grandchildren won't starve.  I repeat:  God is good!

Just a quick correction, Nathan interviewed for the new job on Wednesday (not Monday).  :)
