Our morning didn't start off so good; we had a major snafu going on and the problem couldn't be figured out.
It was puzzling.
It was frustrating.
It was eating up precious time we didn't have to spare … Shay would be arriving any time soon - and Holland had to get ready for a dental appointment. This thing needed to be figured out asap.
I finally said, "Let's stop for a moment and ask for Elohim's grace to help us get a handle on how to handle this situation"; we prayed and asked for Elohim's input, and for wisdom to deal with the situation. We were able to find the origin of the problem, make a phone call, and set Monday aside to take care of the issue. Our thoughts were filled with gratitude :-)
We had both just settled comfortably with cups of morning joy juice, when my phone buzzed with an incoming text:
When I looked up from the phone's message … snowflakes were falling!
This is becoming "a Spring thing" instead of a winter thing, here in WA State. I like snow ((((in December)))), not when daffodils are sprouting and blossoming :-(
My love gift phone, informed me that this unwelcome surprise of white flurries was going to be prolonged:
I just want to be in a sunny spot of land, enjoying turquoise waters and white sand - Holland worked as a contractor, and has worked all over America; he thinks Florida sounds good. I concur ;-)
Shay arrived.
Our day was going much better :-)
We visited for a while; and I gave her the listing papers I had completed last night (buyers info) before she left. I'm glad she and Holland hit it off - Holland is reserved around people, but her sparkle brought him out of his shell ;-)
Holland left for his downtown appointment shortly after Shay. While he was gone, I added a little sparkle to the day, myself {just in case}; with the house officially "on the market", I have to be public ready. I didn't get fancy, but I did get out of my pj's. LOL
Around 4 P.M., the Realtor Sign Post was set in place - and we had looky-loo's right off the bat :-)
Please Father!
Let this house sell quickly, and at an agreeable price.
Make a way for us to get a coach we will be comfortable in at a cost we will be comfortable with: Holland is a bear of a man at 6'4"; and I'm no Skinny Minnie, either. Comfort is essential. Cost (all the way around) is also essential.
I really want out of Longview.
I want to enjoy my new life with my new husband in a new location with a new mindset for both of us.
Holland is giving his contractor tools away tomorrow; this is a hard thing for a man like Holland to do. He has worked steady to support himself since he was 14 years old. Retirement is not comfortable for him. But, listening to him talk this evening, I do believe he is gracefully coming around and gratefully getting comfortable with relaxing and enjoying life :-)
We only get one life to live; thankfully Elohim has gifted us with a second chance to enjoy love again - and He has blessed us with a comfortable joint income to satisfy our gypsy souls ;-)
Thank You, Lord.
My heart is filled with gratitude this Shabbat eve for all that You have done for me. For all that You are doing for me. And for all that You will do for me.
I love/bless You & I thank You for loving/blessing me :-)
Thank You for this man you have given me to walk this life with.
Thank You for this Life You will help me live gracefully and gratefully.
