Place your FAITH in HIM!


Hi!

Well, we had an incredible sleep last night. I slept like a "baby". Half watched 'some' movie; but at 11:30 pm, was 'out like a light'; only to be awakened by a telephone call before 8:00 am.

Alan's Mum who normally calls a bit later, joyfully phoned us; because she is looking so forward to moving out of their "prison", within the next bittidz while. Our penthouse tenant's father is not well; so he is returning to England to be with him. Meanwhile, Alan's parents will move in to his completely furnished apartment; and enjoy a total 'change of scenery'. Which it definitely will be! The ultimate plan is to move them to our old place (a one bedroom); as it is only a few tid minutes away from us; as opposed to being in the "jungle" of downtown. And, if it were a perfect world, our "tenant from Heaven" would come back to the penthouse to live; and the parents would be in the other spot. The "tenant from hell" would be given her notice; as we would not be renewing her lease, come the new year. However, we will also let her know of plausible options; should she prefer to move to the penthouse, if our other tenant has no choice, but to remain in England.

We are always thinking of how to assist others. We are doing our best, to help Alan's parents and restore their quality of life for their remaining years; as well as to provide "stability" for both tenants; that includes, the 'tenant from hell'. Alan's Mum called early this morning, to see if Alan could bring her a spare suitcase, along with some boxes; so that she can pack for the move next week. This upcoming relocation has really buoyed up Alan's parents' spirits!

We could sell both places; that would be great; however, with the real estate value / investment booming and growing steadily in our part of the world, it would be best to 'hang on' to the properties. We were just fortunate that we were able to be at the "right place, at the right time". But then, we KNOW He had a lot to do with it; as we "threw away" both the penthouse and our old abode at various times; and they literally kept "coming back" to us. ie When we first purchased with a tidbitz of a small downpayment on the penthouse, it was literally a "hole in the ground"; sight unseen. We did not have access til some 18 mos later, when it was built; plus the remainder of already approved financed funds were due. As we were experiencing challenges with "finding" the final outstanding amount, we were tempted to "just walk away". Well, that was unwisely throwing money away; but we were fully prepared to do so. As it happened, things 'worked out'. We KNOW He had a strong hand in this Blessing. And also, with our old 'home', which we had up for sale, this past late spring / early summmer, whereby, the tenant frustrated the deal.

Tidbit - Create "win win" bittidz situations, whenever possible!

Bittid - Go with the flow. His flow. We are leaving everything up to Him, and in His hands. We have a lot on our plates; but He never gives us more burdens then we can handle. He carries our burdens for us; and with all the "stuff" going on, we will get through it all, WITH His help! We must not rely on our own understandings! So true!

Am going to go and enjoy this beautiful day! It is a bit cool outside; but brilliant sunshine! Our pink, red, and white geraniums are STILL blooming in our balconey tid window box! In the other balconey window boxes, all there is to be seen, is dirt. So, we are uplifted by this wonderful flowering sight!

As the photo image illuminates: "Have Faith in God". If you place your FAITH in Him, ALL things are possible!

God Bless.
