Counting My Blessings...

SOLD!

Well, God works in interesting ways! About 10 years ago we bought a very "strange" (or maybe a better term would be unique!) piano (as pictured above). It is a unique electric piano. It has no sound board but has all the hammers and strings like a regular piano. So you just have to hook up an amp or speakers to the piano to control the volume.

The reason I bring this up, is that it was SUCH a strange piano but also the absolute perfect piano for us as we were fairly transient during those first years of our married life. Also, the piano played like a "real" acoustic piano so it was reasonable to prepare for a higher level piano exam on it. Plus it folded down nicely and compactly allowing it to be moved about easily and also be in a spare bedroom, folded down when company came. Plus it was fairly maintenance free, saving us tons of money over the years! Plus it was of course quiet, which made it much less annoying for my husband and our neighbours (who we shared a side-by-side house with).

Now, I say all this to just show how God's hand was in the purchase of that "strange" piano:-)

Well, we now have got a nice brand new acoustic piano (in June) and were needing to resell this "strange" piano. We were not sure how on earth we were going to sell this "beast":-) It really is not all that lovely to look at, just so you know:-)

The first few weeks there were no bites. Well over the past week we have received lots of phone calls from all over the States (and we're here in Canada!). And then today we actually had a guy say he was heading up this way, a 20 hour drive each way, to pick up our "strange" piano:-) Plus he's giving us $75 more then our asking price and he has already transferred the money into our account via paypal a week ahead of his arrival!

All I can say is PRAISE GOD! I really can see how God took care of us through the years in even these "small" things with this lovely "strange" piano:-) I just have to chuckle at this whole situation... Who knew we had such a unique collector's item on our hands all along!

Thank you, Lord, for your care and meeting our needs in even these "small things"!
