Homeschooling in Illinois

House for Sale?

My son D was taking out the recycling earlier when he came in telling us there was a man out front asking for his parents.  Hubby goes out to talk to the guy and it turns out, he was wondering if our house was for sale.  Now, there are 4 houses on our block that are for sale, but ours is not one of them.  I said he should have said, "For the right price it is."  There are two ways of looking at this.  1 - This was God saying, "Yes, sell your house.  If fact, here is a buyer."  Or 2 - Some crazy guy was staking out our house and going to try and break in soon.  We guessed the latter.  The story the guy was telling us was kinda goofy.  He said he found the house online and then he said he talked to a real astate agent.  My hubby said, no, our house was not up for sale, but there were 4 others on the block to choose from and our neighbors would soon make it 5.  (I still insisted he should have just sold it to the guy on the spot.)  So hubby got online to check out the guy's story, just in case he was telling the truth.  Well, apparently, our house is up for sale!  How weird is that?  The previous owners listed it on the internet 5 years ago, and it is still up there.  I guess it's a good thing he wasn't a stalker....

We had decided to put our house up for sale this year, but when we had to tear apart our bathroom, that kinda made us rethink our decision.  The bathroom is still not done and we are trying to decide if we will still put the house up for sale when it is finished.  Should we take the as a sign that people are just dying to get into our house?

That is so weird. I'd have sold it to him just to get out of having to fix the bath. hehehe.

Thanks for mentioning the bath, btw. I've been wondering for a bit how things were going.

at least He used a fairly normal guy and the internet rather than a burning bush! Hmmm. Does make you think, though, doesn't it? You just never know what He has planned for you!
