(((BND))) Sorry to hear your H lost his job. And sad that the kids will miss out on the vacation.
Yes, there usually is a reason for things to happen the way they do. It looks like your H is being responsible instead of feeling beaten by the lay-off. God has good plans for you and your family. Jer 29:11 (slightly paraphrased) "God's plans for you are to prosper you, and not to harm you. His plans are to give you hope and a future."
