Distracted & Blessings

 Well, I deleted the post about the gingersnaps, just a bit distracted I suppose. Thank you for your comments about them.

I mentioned about my son & work issue.

He had worked at nursing home in dietary/culinary for 3 years. He had seen enough, been through 7 managers, and countless staff  through the revolving door. The final straw, he got stuck in the elevator between floors, the same elevators that the residents use. He reported it and got flagged for inciting an issue. It wasn't  until the fire department had to be contacted to get another staff member out that anyone did something about the problem. They gave him .50 more an hour as an apology. He was done.

My son has a learning disability. He tries very hard to be independent & self sustaining.

So he found himself a job all by himself. $3.00 more an hour at another "retirement center", very new and upscale, and very $$$. The job description (changed) once hired was not something he had direct experience with and so this was a learning curve, within 2 weeks they were riding him, he wasn't fast enough, he wasn't adapting, etc. Why you would have to be fast with old people who are not going anywhere is beyond me.

His 90 days are not even passed  yet, and he is out. He was put on suspension for something while they investigated. One week went by, no call, no pay. He did not know what the something was, who filed it, and was not able to even speak up for himself.  

He began to look for another job, he applied for a job, was contacted by the Mgr 20 minutes later, invited to interview the next day and was hired. Another raise in pay,  more than the original nursing home job and the second one. He had quit the other job, and when he handed in his letter of resignation, the director would not even come out to talk to him. He still doesn't know what he did.

$4.50 increase in pay. I will decline to say where it is, it is a well known food chain with Christian values, mission statement etc....🐔

GOD is never late, never misses a beat.    

 have seen this countless times in my life. He always heaps it  up and over what you could have imagine.

 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:38.

GOD saw the goodness and caring of my son, and blessed him. I am grateful .
