Chance upon

My mum just told me that we managed to get a good buyer for our current house. Earlier this year, my dad told me that he'll be buying a house and it was exactly what my mum has always wanted ever since I was young. A place where she can do her gardening and also near enough for her to walk to church.
This was the house she saw way before my dad told her that he'll be buying. Then he refuse and said there's not a need to buy one. Many times my mum have suggested other houses but still he'll not agree to it.
Amazingly, my dad message me one day and told me he's getting the house for mum before she even knew about it *beam* wow...a change of heart I thought;) It has to be god to have kept that house for us. It was in the best location and hardly would someone sell it if it has not been for a good offer.
We bought it for half the price of the bank valuation. Because of economy downturn then, the bank lawyer fees was waive to half. We could easily sell it for double the price now.
For our current house, we manage to sell it 2.5times more than what we bought it for. I was surprised that we even get such a good deal. We were offered higher than the bank valuation of that house. A total opposite of our new house! haha. Because of that, the bank is only able to loan to the buyer the amount it's valued.
In fact my parents didn't even rush to sell it. The renovation would take awhile and my mum would tell me there's lots more time.
What amazes me is this. In this week I signed two letters. One was for my current new place and the other a letter courier to me from the lawyer in Ipoh for my new house. The house will be officially ours in August. Two new place happened at the same time. And both were something that's been in our hearts.
I never did remember ever looking forward coming home from work or school. But now I do. I looked out of the window yesterday and saw mist in the midst of the hill:) what a lovely sight. I can look forward now to go back to my hometown too to witness before me a dream come true for my mum.
Surely He has made all things beautiful in His time.
