When there is a crisis in our lives, we say to ourselves, what am I going to do now?  Maybe this past year you had a car accident, lost your job, or had a death in the family.  From time to time, we all place our life on hold for a reality check. Whether you have a crisis or not, now is a good time to evaluate your situation in life.

No matter how bad life seems to be there are always things for which to be Thankful.  Recently I received a holiday card with some facts I will share with you.  If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back and a roof over your head with a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.  If you have money in the bank, in your wallet and spare change, you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.  If you have more health than illness you are better off than the million who will not survive this week.  If you can attend a place of worship without fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death than you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.  If you are a member of KCIFMA, than you are among about 250 special people in the Kansas City area who receive professional benefits.

I added the sentence, however if you need professional help you can always rely on KCIFMA as a resource.  If you happen to lose your job, remember that you can continue your KCIFMA membership at no cost. Check out the many other benefits as well.  We are here to serve you.

The KCIFMA staff wishes that you and your family
have a Very Blessed New Year.
