This is an update to (830).
Last Saturday I went to the college town where my eldest is reading English language. We: the founder, her former church youth group members( a married couple newly retired), and I worked at sorting, cleaning the fittings of the former restaurant preparing them for sale. We are very thankful that the owner of the shop trusts us enough to give us a lease for five years, rent free.
We also viewed a first story shop lot which would be partitioned into four spacious rooms and a commodious living area which will be furnished in a month's time. Another owner from this same family graciously offered us a five year lease too. Our cups overflowed. We are indeed thankful for God's providence. I can actually start amassing books in my tiny abode now that the next trip up there will be a place to keep the books.
On top of this wonderful arrangement, another member of this blessed family actually agreed to renovate this shop lot for us at no cost to us. We will need air conditioners, glass doors and partition walls between the book area and kitchen. I am humbled by the generosity of this family. The first offer would mean $2,000x12x5 over five years. The second offer would mean giving up a potential of earning $350x2x4x12x5 over five years. The third may well cost him anything from $40,000 to $100,000 up front.
But I am sure these owners are not losing. They are giving to the almighty God. God is no man's debtor. He will bless these three individuals and their family members a hundred fold.
