Lonely lost love laid-back,
Loyalty, legality layoff.
Death Dogged down,
Died due for love.
The dissuade love which neither started,
Nor it has an end.
Have You Lost Your Job???
Haas your life been filled with
“bad news?”
The job you had…
you will lose?
I’m sure this brings
a lot of uncertainty?
Knowing that very soon…
This will be a reality.
This often brings fear
and apprehension?
And the burden of stress
with a lot of tension?
Perhaps you feel very discouraged
and “distraught.”
There’s a spiritual lesson
that needs to be taught!
No matter how
things are going…
There’s a God in heaven that you
need to be knowing!
He knows all about your layoff
and every situation!
The love and peace he gives needs
no explanation!
Everything that you need...
Jesus does provide!
Worry? Or Trust HIM?
That’s for you to decide!

An Ideal Job Is Easily Found
By Elton Camp
“To find what type of job you are best fitted to and then to secure an opportunity to pursue it, is the key to happiness.” -- John Dewey
It’s now too late for me, this to do
For my working days are through
For young folks about to begin
There’s one I’d recommend
The pay’s not great, but work is steady
The skills you need you have already
If you can talk, hear and key
Then you’re likely home free
It’s not work in the blazing sun
You can quit when the day’s done
The work is all performed inside
From cold, there’s no need to hide
If a layoff should ever come around
Another like it is very easily found
“Mr. Jones, how are you today?”
Mealtime is when it’s best to say
“I’m giving you an opportunity here
To share with me something dear.”
“Your credit card is all that I need
To handle it with the greatest speed.”
Being a telemarketer is what I propose
For no jobs are more worthy than those
Separating the sucker from his dough
Will give you a happy, contented glow
Going Through A Layoff???
Are you one who watches
the nightly news?
And hear of the many jobs
people will lose?
Does this news bring to your life
much uncertainty?
Knowing that very soon…
This could be a reality?
Are you one who’s filled with fear
and apprehension?
Feeling the burden of stress
and a lot of tension?
Perhaps you feel very discouraged
and “distraught.”
Here’s a ”lesson” that needs
to be taught!
Don’t allow yourself to worry about
“how things are going.”
There’s a God in heaven that you
need to be knowing!
He knows all about your layoff
and every situation!
The love and peace he gives needs
no explanation!
Everything that you need...
Jesus does provide!
Worry? Or Trust HIM?
That’s for you to decide!
