The house is still for sale

 Proverbs 24:3-4 By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established;  through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.

Tuesday morning will be 5 weeks since we listed our house.  We priced very reasonable to begin with.  We know our neighborhood has taken a hit the last several years and thus weren't expecting to make much proft.  I was sure it would sell really fast.  It is a lovely and sweet family home;  nothing fancy, no wood floors, no granite counter tops, just a sweet and open, very clean and not cluttered, family home.  It hasn't sold.  We lowered our price yesterday to catch more people.  We've had lots of lookers, just  no offer.  It is okay.  Yes, we'd really love to have the older home on the hill with the rockin' 1983 wood front door with amber colored glass panes, the extra bathroom in what would be Abby's room, the 1 acre and the trees, the flat drive way for Dillon to shoot baskets in(our driveway is a beast of a hill).
I'm okay with it not selling.  It is actually less work for me. Our contingency contract expires in 3 more weeks.  I've been praying "Lord, all this is just a house.  We are so blessed with our home currently.  More than a house, we want to honor You with our lives.  If we don't need that other home or if it would not be financially sound, please shut the door on it."  So, 3 other homes in our neighborhood that were for sale have contracts on them.  I asked Dillon what he thought.  He waved his hands dramatically and said "Our house pretty!"  I'm ready to be done with the showing stuff.  Keeping it clean costantly is hard!  Yesterday I was at a class in a city an hour away and Mike was in D.C.  The house wasn't ready and we got a call.  My dear friend Susie hussled over, put the dogs up, picked up items left lying about(including a pair of clean undies), and opened blinds to showcase natural light).  Now that is a true friend!
