I went to Miles City today about 300 miles round trip, to check on the rental. Got there to discover that my renters had moved out still owing back rent. I did a cursory inspection noting what would have to be repaired before it could be rented. The house had been cleaned.
I left feeling over whelmed. My heart sank because I knew I would have to hire the work done and I would need to find someone who would even do it. The last time I tried to find someone locally they were booked 2 years in advance.
Then I would need to advertise and make arrangements to drive down and show the house to prospective renters. I began a mental inventory of what we would need to do.
Discouraged I headed home. My heart reminded my head to give thanks and praise for this situation. So I did.
When I got to Billings I headed for McDonald's to pick something up for my hubby (he's been under the weather). As I reached for the phone. My voice mail came on. Someone was calling about renting the house. When I called him back - he's a former contractor and will fix the door.
Meeting him and his family on Friday. His brother worked with one of the renters so they knew the house was vacant. I will have to ask how they found my number.
I'm reminded I need to celebrate all the small miracles.
