When I was laid off, our Human Resource manager was also let go. Recently, I contacted him and he told me he also got a new job. He is now VP in a small bank, which is very close to his home. He proudly told me: "I feel blessed to be led to the present situation."
In my area, American families has adopted about 5,000 kids from China during the past 10 years. I have ever talked this matter with one mother who adopted 2 daughters. She told me: " I am totally blessed with my girls."
Indeed, if we feel blessed, we will feel much better facing the life.
