miracles: Sweet Release!

Mom was called Home by her Lord and Savior to be with Him on Thursday, April 10th!!!!!She had spent he last 5 days of her life in the Gilchrist Hospice Center receiving the best care possible in this world. How wonderful a place with such compassionate people it was for her and our entire family! There will no doubt be a time of sorrow in the days ahead, but for such a time as this, I am thinking only of Mom and how her entry into Glory will reunite her with Dad, Nana, Papa and all her loved ones who have been … (0 comments)
miracles: An Oasis in the Desert
- 04/09/08 10:53 PM
I have experienced a few moments of feeling downtrodden by all that has been happening lately and each time God has sent a special messenger of encouragement. Last week, a young woman from Romania called me out of the blue. She said God had put me on her heart to pray for and just wanted to call to let me know that. My blessings come from all over the world. A drink of living water to refresh my parched soul. Yesterday was frustrating when some family members weren't cooperating and trying to put forth their private agenda. I wanted to think … (2 comments)
miracles: Don't let a single opportunity to be a blessing slip away!
- 04/08/08 06:17 PM
The difference between one day and the next has been very notable. When talking to the nurse yesterday, she was not ready to be admitted to Gilchrist's in-patient Hospice unit, but 24 hours later she has been. Breathing is slowing, she can no longer suck, drinking is difficult, no desire to eat [and in our family that is the surest sign of all ; )]. Our entire family was gathered at my house; my husband Ray, our 5 children, daughter-in-law, 2 grandsons, and both my brother Rob and sister Lorri's families. 18 in total, counting mom. I told my 3-1/2 year old grandson, … (2 comments)
miracles: Thanksgiving Miracle #2 Part 2
- 12/08/07 02:06 PM
As is the case in all good miracles, we had a truly happy ending. The electrical problems from the walk through required a more extensive solution for living. 4 Electricians were called, but only 2 called back. Is anyone surprised? The 1st estimate was from a sole proprietor while the second was from a major company and was 3 times higher. The Buyers and Seller were able to come together on a figure to allow the repairs to be made and the settlement went on without a hitch. I must say that there were many feverish phone calls made to coordinate all parties, so … (0 comments)
miracles: Thanksgiving Miracle #2 2007
- 11/22/07 09:14 AM
This is turning into an annual tradition. This year I had my 2nd closing that was to occur on the Tuesday before Thanksgivng. It also had a snafu that precluded us from going to settlement. This time I approached the Listing Agent with the proposal of her client allowing a Pre-Settlement Occupancy Agreement. This was challenging all around, as she was out of town and I was responsible for the care and handling of my Buyers and her Seller as well. It was like motherhood when you have 2 children to whom you don't want to exhibit any partiality. It was … (1 comments)
miracles: Thanksgiving Miracle #1 2006
- 11/22/07 04:16 AM
I know that Real Estate 101 says to stay away from Pre-Settlement Occupancy Agreements like the plague, but my clients were the recipients of a blessing straight from Heaven. It was however sent via the Listing Agent, Mark, and his clients, a mother and 5 adult children. My clients were a Hungarian Missionary couple with 3 small children. Due to a snafu at the bank, we were going to be unable to settle on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving last year. Mark generously presented the idea to mom and her kids, of allowing the Buyers to move into the house and enjoy … (2 comments)
