In Christianity, the moment we believe, God imputes Christ’s perfect performance to us as if it were our own, and adopts us into His family. In other words, God can say to us just as He once said to Christ, “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”
Tim Keller

Subject: [HomeSteadHeaven] Possibilities and Hope
I promise all of this will tie together in the end.  🙂   Yesterday was my co-op day.  One of the ladies who comes to pick up recently lost her dog.  She is a single lady and has a hard time getting around and she just got the dog back in March and she loved having him.  We had offered Skye to her, but she declined because she wanted a smaller dog.  You also know that we recently helped Michael's parents move.  They got rid of a lot of stuff, but still had a LOT.  We went and helped them a week ago today and ended up bringing home 3 more boxes of stuff they were getting rid of.  This stuff was nicer and I had a hard time just dropping it off and good will.  Lots of heavy cut glass pieces (relish dish, candy dish,etc.).  Most of the stuff I left in the boxes so people could go through it, but I put the glassware all out on my dining room table.  Britty went through it and I had the young Wonderful Neighbor girl go through it (she is in a possible courtship).  The young people of today do not entertain or use that type of stuff.  I just HATED to give it to a thrift store.  So it has been in my living room and on my table since then. 
 
OK... So, G came yesterday to get her order.  Most of her stuff had not come in and she only had 2 small packs of cookies.  I had emailed her letting her know that.  I was going to offer to bring it to her on my way to town one day.  She showed up and said she had not even seen the email when I asked about it.  She had been out running errands.  We got to talking about her dog who died and she even hung around to wait for me to finish with someone who came after her.  Out of the blue, she asked me how much we were asking for our property.  There is no sign up and we have been talking about moving for 6 years now.  🙂  I gave her the price and she thought it was a steal.  She said that her nephew was looking for land.  She said she did not think that the chicken barns would bother him and she even mentioned that the house needed work.  She knows about the flood we have, etc.  In other words, she knows all the bad stuff and still thinks he might be interested.  Then out of the blue, I said, "Do you want some glassware?"  I don't even know why I said it.  She asked what kind and so I invited her into the house to see it.  She loved a couple of the pieces and asked me how much.  I said FREE!!  She said she and her sister loved stuff like this and if I was serious, she would take it all.  YEAH!!  I started wrapping it in paper and putting it in a box right then.  I asked about the other BIG box of pans, and stuff.  She said that Inter-Church ministries loved to get stuff like that.  Would I like for her to deliver it for me?  YES!!  Long story short, she took everything!!!  YEAH!!!  She has been generous with us in the past in giving us stuff, so I was thrilled to be able to give her something she loved.  Then she looked around and said... "My nephew would LOVE this place!"  She asked about bedrooms, etc.  She is going to give him our email and phone number. 
 
It might come to nothing, but it is a nibble and a possibility, which gives me hope.  PLUS, she knows all the bad stuff and still thinks it would work.  🙂
