113 ~ Moving Again?

By Kay Heitsch

After moving the last two times, I learned a lot! I knew no matter what happened, I could put my trust in the Lord to take care of me.

So, I wasn't too surprised when Bill accepted a management job in another state. The gal we bought the house from was our neighbor, so she came over to the house with the paperwork.

The relator gave a few suggestions, such as taking all my pictures off the refrigerator. That was okay. When she started to do the paperwork, I excused myself and went to work. She was surprised!

I told her I had been through this many times and I had already put this house in God's hands. I wasn't going to worry about it. I cleaned the house every morning before leaving for work. The house was always ready to be shown.

During the meantime, I kept working at the memory care center. I was entertained by a couple of residents who recited the same jingles all day long. Here's a couple.

"Lord, have mercy on my soul. How many chickens have I stole? Two last night and two before, and if I live tonight, I'll steal two more!"

Then, I was asked this question several times a day.

"What do you call a hillbilly breakfast?" I would always respond, What? He would laugh and say, "A roll in the hay with honey!"

Bill was gone for several months. He found a hotel suite there and would come home when he could.

Our house did not sell! Praise the Lord! Later, Bill discovered they were seeking a manager with experience opening and closing stores. Bill had experience with each. That's why they hired him. They had decided to close this store.

You never know what life is going to bring. Praise God, I had learned to trust the Lord and not stress.

Remember how I led you on this long journey. Deuteronomy 8:2
