I'M HIRED

As I wrote about 3 months ago I was hired on a temporary basis for a oil services company in Marlow which is just north of Duncan.  I was told that I was working on a probationary basis for 3 months then they would decide if they wanted to hire me.  Wednesday that told me I was hired if I still wanted. to work there.  WANTED!! You better believe I wanted to stay and work.  I really enjoy my job.  It's the first one I have enjoyed in about 2 1/2 years.  The owners are awesome to work for!!  For Thanksgiving they gave all their employee's a Murf's ham.  Murf's is a gun store in Duncan that sells the best peppered ham.  I usually buy one each year since I have one son-in-law who does not like turkey.  Was I ever so grateful I did not have to  this year.  At Christmas they gave us a medium size box of Sorrel's nuts, which is a business south of Comanache OK that has pecans, peanuts, etc.  My package had a jar of local honey, peanut brittle, spiced peanuts, yogurt covered pecans, cinnamon peecans and chocolate cover peanuts.  To say the least all that is left is the package are the yogurt covered pecans and spiced nuts.  Then they threw a Christmas party and handed everyone Christmas cards.  Mine had a $200.00 bonus.  I was ever so grateful for that since I was trying to figure out how to buy everything I needed for Christmas.    God is truly good!!!!  My continuing thanks list includes:.

66.  For my Murf's ham, the Sorrell box of goodies and my $200.00 bonus.

67.  For finding some awesome bargains on winter shirts at JCP.

68.  For Jesus being born of Mary and  becoming a man and being willing to die on the cross so He      could deliver us from everything the devil would try to throw or put on us.

69.  I am getting to take Thursday and Friday off before Christmas.

70.  For working for Godly/Christian employers.
