On Friday (yes the 5th) it was payday for some people. My renters for example get paid on the 5th and the 20th. Now, I would really like to know if anyone else out there has this kind of a problem and have you decided yet that it is time to turn your property over to a management company so the frustration will be gone. Yes, it would cost a little more, but this is really getting to me. So anyway, on the 5th, friday, I went over to collect the rent and my tenants car was not home. I thought they must just be at town, cashing their check (they always pay cash). Later, still no car. Saturday, still no car and no one home. I'm getting upset that they have maybe gone to Mesquite or something and are spending the rent money! Saturday night I put a For Sale sign on the front yard, 'cause if I sell the place I could put that money into a little bigger nicer place. (the rental is paid for) Anyway, here it is Sunday night and they are still not home. SO, instead of mad, now I'm getting worried. It just is crazy.
Today I went to church and had a wonderful experience listening to others talk about their gratitude for all the blessings of life. Doesn't matter how tough things are there is always something to be grateful for. I love the saying "be kind to all you meet, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle." We are in this together. This economy is tough, but we still live in the best country with still so much opportunity. If we look around and show thanks for what we have I believe that the Lord will make sure we have enough. He is waiting for us to have complete trust
in Him. Let down the guard and the defense and let Him in.
