I have no idea where that number came from. We bought it in 1990 so that's 18 years, right?

Just talking about lilacs made me go out in the yard and look at my bushes, longing for spring when they'd smell up the house and yard again. And I never smell that smell now without remembering that special time when God made them bloom just for me--anyway, I thought so.Linda Goodnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180677262384855235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-1248307085937149862009-01-21T11:18:00.000-08:002009-01-21T11:18:00.000-08:00Lyn, I'd love to hear how he got that job!Familie...Lyn, I'd love to hear how he got that job!<BR/><BR/>Families sticking together in the tough times is a message in itself, isn't it?Linda Goodnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180677262384855235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-10561912790022164932009-01-21T10:27:00.000-08:002009-01-21T10:27:00.000-08:00Linda,What a stirring story and such a blessing to...Linda,<BR/>What a stirring story and such a blessing to read it. God can even make lilacs bloom out of season. Truly amazing.<BR/><BR/>Lilacs are my favorite and I've always had them at every house. I've planted some here but I guess I'll have to move them. They are struggling and not blossoming.<BR/><BR/>I want to thank for writing how you and your husband hung-together through tough times. So many couples start taking it out on each other.<BR/><BR/>And I remember the rough times in the mid-70's to late 80's when everything was stunted. Our county in NE IL had 20% unemployment. Way above the national average. And my husband worked a good job throughout that time. <BR/><BR/>Sometime I tell how he got that job!<BR/>Hugs,<BR/>LynLyn Cotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11366375647118584580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-56735698112725463432009-01-21T09:29:00.000-08:002009-01-21T09:29:00.000-08:00Linda --What a lovely story to share!

And yet, it's perfect for us and has been for years. AND BEST OF ALL, it's been debt free for most of those years, something the new dream home would not yet have been.<BR/><BR/>As to the lilacs, I left so much out of the story, but when I was a little girl, we always had lilacs. They held so many positive memories for me and had long been my favorite flower.<BR/><BR/>Additionally, it was "impossible" during that financially hard time for us to buy a place, especially after losing the first home--But we prayed and hung on tight to the Lord and saw first hand that nothing is impossible with our big, big God.Linda Goodnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180677262384855235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-28841638949299871112009-01-21T07:08:00.000-08:002009-01-21T07:08:00.000-08:00Thanks, Cheryl.
