What a blessing!

I've been really frustrated with trying to get all of the house inspections lined up and completed. The company that was going to do our roof inspection never showed, and then after setting up the second appt stood us up again! I was so aggravated!. Anyway, we ended up using someone else, who came out today. I met him at the house, and the good new is the roof is good for the next 3-5 years. The even better news is that he didn't charge us for the inspection. He told me that today was his mercy mission day and that he had already done 3 jobs for free and didn't want to mess his record up by charging us. He's the sweetest man, semi-retired. This was such a testament to me on how Heavenly Fathers way is not always our way. If I had had my way, the first company would have shown up and we would be out $150 bucks. I definitely need to remember that everything happens for a reason and not to get angry or upset when I can't yet see the reason.

Awesome! Glad you got the whole thing taken care of, and that your roof is good! Not to mention saving 250 bucks, I'd take that anyday!
