GROWING PAINS

   The year 2012 will be a different year and it will also be a difficult year in the lives of people in the United States as well as for people around the world.
   Events of this year could be surprising and even shocking.  And the year 2013 will be worse.
   Do not look for the world's economic situation to improve; neither should we look for the economy of the United States to be any better by the new year than it is today.
   This does not mean, however, that we should be pessimistic; but rather this should mean that we can make plans and preparations for things to come. 
   The economy of the world is collapsing; so is the economy of the United States.  Nations have spent more money than they have had to spend, and borrowing has reached the end of credit. 
   For the remainder of the year 2012, buy only what you need to buy, not what you want to buy.  Learn how to say "no" and to let it go.  Wash and iron your laundry instead of using dry cleaners.  Polish your shoes.  Buy from thrift stores instead of brand names.  Use cash instead of credit cards.  Get out of debt as quickly as possible and stay out of debt. 
   The future is going to be different and the future is going to be difficult.  Yesterday is gone.  America's golden age is over.  The world is changing into a world that no generation has ever seen.  All that has happened has happened and our present situation is because of the history of what we have done to ourselves and by ourselves.  We have no one to blame.
   Above all else, pray.  If you have never believed in prayer, this is the time to learn how to rely on God, even if this is your first time.
   The Bible has been telling us that this time would come, and now this time is here.  The future will not be easy.
