Michael S. I will continue to pray for you.
I pray that you will get a good, permanent job in the Spring.
I pray that you will remain close to your mother, and that you will bring joy to her life
I pray, that both of you will discover joy in Christ and put your full and complete trust in HIM
I pray, that both of you be happy with what you have got
Your mother is healthy in body, but depressed. Maybe she worries about your job, about getting older, about your smoking....
Maybe she needs good friends who will keep her company.
Spend some quality time with her. Talk about happy things, Turn off the TV with the negative news.
In everything, pray without ceasing. Go to work happy, be happy and do your best.
Take Mum out for a good time to a nice Church function - especially at Christmas, Churches all over are preparing wonderful programs
Give to others - encourage Mum to take on a project - whether it is someone or something.
For yourself, if you want a new job, volunteer in an area that you have interest - by volunteering, you will not only learn more about the work, but you will get noticed. If a position comes up, you will be considered for sure.
If she is depressed about money, remember that saving a small amount monthly will help her to feel more secure.
Parents get depressed when their children are not doing well, or are far away. Keep close to her.
GOD IS BIGGER THAN ANY PROBLEM.
