A quick and harmonious house sale
My mother-in-law passed on this past spring, and it fell to my husband and me to sell her home. Her home was in a part of Arkansas where it commonly takes two to three years to sell a home. In fact, a real estate agent showed us statistics on five “recently” sold houses; the one that had sold most quickly had taken nearly three years to sell.
I felt keenly that it was important that the house be useful. It was a home that had been built with love, filled with love for many years, and its purpose was clear: to bless. I knew there was a spiritual basis for the idea of home, and that qualities such as purpose and harmony are permanent because they come from God.
Recalling a permanent healing I’d had of jet lag when traveling was valuable. That experience had helped me see that God, not the position of the sun, governed my well-being. I reasoned that right activity could not possibly be dependent on how many times the earth had circled the sun. The movement of the earth around the sun—a year—did not make sense as a measure of God’s love for me and my family.
