I would like to report on God's faithfulness to my family.  Although we have finished August with one property still empty and with various extra business expenses we did not end with a shortfall.  We sold 2 stoves this past month and so actually were able to fulfill all our obligations and also put some money into our savings.  I am so grateful for God's provision.  And I am still asking for a good tenant for our empty house and now for his provision for September.  This is called living by faith and sometimes it is very uncomfortable.

Also I wanted to write about our weekend yard sale.  I am firmly of the conclusion that yard sales are not worth the work.  But our neighbors were doing one and asked us to join them and we had lots of things left from a tenant who abandoned her property.  So we had a 2 day sale SAt. and Monday.  We made some money but we didn't get rid of much.  So we still have lots of junk to dispose of.  Oh well, we did have some good community and fellowship time with our neighbors and friends.  Perhaps that was the real value of the yard sale.

That is so funny. We just had a yard sale ourselves and it was a great time of friendship and laughing. It was alot of work. We did well moneywise, but we had the things that tenants had left behind in our units. So not alot of our personal stuff. We used the money to help with the gas for our vacation and buy back to school clothes for the girls. I am so glad to hear that your stoves are selling now and things are better.
