I am so happy to report that everyone's praying truly helped us. Yesterday, in the midst of preparations for ds's procedure on Monday, we received an offer for our house.

It has been a struggle for me here alone with kids to keep the house show ready all the time. Dd has food allergies, so we could never go out for a meal during a showing- always had to pack a lunch or snacks and head to a park, and it is really too hot now to be doing that anymore. Plus the separation of our family- that was very hard on everyone.

St. Joseph, Our Lady of Lourdes, St. Jude and St. Anthony were probably sick of hearing from me. The call for the showing came on the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the morning of the showing I found a copy of CCC's "The Princess of Lourdes" on tape at a second hand store in mint condition . This is not a Catholic area, and I never, ever find anything like that at yard sales or in stores. I had just said a prayer to OLL before heading out to the store, and when I saw the tape, I knew.
Thanks be to God!

Congratulations, Melinda--that sounds like wonderful news for you. I'll pray that Our Lady of Lourdes continues to watch over the closing.
