The end of the 60 Day Notice was officially today. 59 employees were terminated and about 30 or so others remain as part time/seasonal employees to help facilitate the weddings. I, myself, was the only one to keep my full time position. It's bittersweet as I write this. I want to be excited that I get to stay and go to work every day to a place I feel God's called me to. On the other hand, several others are out of work and my heart aches for them during this rough time in the economy.
So we had a good-bye potluck today and it was a somber occasion of course. Jenda spoke out of an attitude of gratitude and her words were beautiful. The kitchen staff made a prime rib lunch complete with veggies and potatoes. The food was delicious.
Originally when I started this blog, I felt in my heart that God was going to provide a miracle and I wanted to document it. I personally am extremely blessed to still be a part of the Ranch and it's a miracle for me and a few others that get to stay on a part time basis. As for the others, I rest in the fact that God has a plan for their lives. Who knows...it may be at the Ranch someday or a completely different direction. So it wasn't what I thought God was going to do, albeit good. It makes me realize once again that God knows what He is doing and everything works together for the good of those who love Him.
Romans 8:28 (New International Version)
28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,[a] who[b] have been called according to his purpose.
