~Home by the Sea~ Part 2

Several months passed and, periodically, I would think about the flat by the sea. After a while, I really began to regret I hadn't taken it. (I didn't have my phone connected at the time, so hadn't even called the landlord to decline.) One day I made the simple decision that the next time I saw the flat advertised I would take it.

A short period later, maybe a week or so, (I honestly can't be accurate since time is so confusing to me), I decided to go into town and check out the local Saturday morning paper and use a public phone to make calls if I saw anything I was interested in. Again, I knew the top rent I was willing to pay which was very cheap but I had had my wishes granted many times before. I believed that anything was possible. 

That morning there were several flats, around the right price and location for me, one being thru a Real Estate agent and a couple of other private ones. I really thought I didn't want to go thru an agent, so I went off to look at the other two. Neither property was quite to my liking so I was about to head home when I decided to check out the one thru the agency after all. No harm in looking, right? When I called I could hardly believe my ears when the person on the end of the phone told me the address. I knew immediately my "prayer wishes" had been answered ... and so soon!

To finish the story, I did move in. (The agency accepted me.) The landlord had redecorated the place but kept the rent at its original low price. I particularly loved the layout of it. The person who had built it, back in 1972 or so, seemed to have had some taste. I lived there for about seven years, with the sun pouring in and the sea sounds and smells all around. The property had a fishpond and the gate that went straight onto the now famous foreshore. I don't drive and I was able to walk along the pathway into town and to the supermarket.

In case you hadn't guessed, my home has always been very important to me. :~)

God is good. :~D
