Home NOT Alone
It all started seven months ago when we had an estate sale to rid his home of no longer-needed contents. He loved our apartment “nest”, so he put his charming home on the market. Little did we know that beneath its delightful exterior, lay a web of plumbing problems waiting to be uncovered. But hey,…
Not Missing God’s Invitations
How thankful we are to have finished a successful estate sale at Carl’s home! Three days of crowds who were welcomed and immediately heard beautiful sounds of K-Love’s Christian music playing in the background. Many people said: “I love your music!” We sold that vintage stereo system with its Hi-Fi, double cassette player, 5-CD player,…
Coincidence or PROVIDENTIAL Circumstance
Providential: involving divine intervention; occurring at a favorable time; opportune, heaven-sent, fortunate, timely. Before Mom’s Estate Sale, I sent pictures to my children of “Granny’s Home” unlike any way they could conceive – in complete disarray compared to the pristine way it always looked “on her watch”. When Mom and Dad’s home was destroyed by…

One Gal’s Junk…..Another Gal’s Treasure
My sis-in-law and I share a sweet memory of the estate sale company that we owned and operated. We witnessed the “junk” of many become the “treasures” for others. Perspective. A useless Tupperware lid for one, but for another it was just what they needed. Old worthless baby stroller for one, to another it was…
You Are His Treasured Possession
Helping my daughter and her family unpack into their new home in Texas, we were sorting through “stuff” to determine what to keep or put in an upcoming yard sale that their new neighborhood was getting ready to have. I came across a few things that I snagged that were “just my size” or I…
One Man’s Trash is a Raccoon’s Treasure
I live in a new community where five homes are being built to the east and west of me. The good news about being the first to build in a new subdivision is you have your choice of lots (mine backs up to a beautiful pond). The bad news about being the first to build…
