David in the pool off our covered patio 1982

Wish List by: Frances M. McCrory-Meservy November 1981

Our lease was up and our landlady decided to sell the house we were living in. We could not afford to purchase it.

We decided to just make a wish list of what we wanted in a house and try to get most of what we wanted.

  1. Good school district
  2. Good church close by
  3. 3 Bedrooms with 2 Baths
  4. No more than $500 per month
  5. 20 X 20 living room
  6. Ceiling fan in Living Room
  7. Lots of windows for fresh air
  8. Washer & Dryer hookups in the house
  9. Large porch or covered patio on the front or back
  10. Full size swimming pool with diving board
  11. Place for a garden

We picked up the paper as soon as we had finished the list and there was an ad for a house with a swimming pool for $500 per month. We called the owner and looked at the house the next day. We were amazed. It had everything we had on our list plus. We rented it and moved in.

God said he would give us the desires of our heart and he did. He is so good.

Psa 37:4 Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
