These last few years have been tough on a lot of families, especially around the holidays. Traditons have had to be broken to make ends meet, families can not afford to travel to spend time with each other, etc. But there are some families that are enduring MUCH MORE than financial losses. Some families are livng with tramatic injuries and serious illnesses of their loved ones, on top of financial hardships. If we have a job and good health, we need to take a momement and give thanks to those who have allowed us these life luxuries. After all, the vast majority of those who have lost a job in the last three years were a victim of a failing economy and those with life altering injuries/illnesses did not ask for them!!
