Is Someone Trying to Tell Us Something?

In the last 8 months, since we bought the house:

-Our house is broken into & tools stolen
-DPS announces a sex offender lives at our address
-Our house is vandalized
-Our gas meter is REMOVED
-The City harasses us about supposed building code violations (which we are not violating)
-The dogs (esp. Dynnah) refuse to stay in the backyard, and D almost gets maced by an APD officer
-Max takes a trip to the ER with a 103-106 fever
-Clint loses his job
-Clint gets multiple expensive tickets
-Lee County screws us over
-Flea infestation '08
-Alex loses her job

Alright...what next? C'mon, then...what else you got? Because I've decided that I'm done worrying & feeling sorry for us...We've got only opportunities, friends. And you know what else has happened since we moved in? This:

-DPS printed a retraction
-We met several neighbors who welcomed us to the neighborhood
-Clint built a beautiful fence
-Max is healthy and happy and growing and wonderful and beautiful and smart...
-We got a tax return that paid our bills while Clint was out of work
-We have an amazing support group of friends, family, church family, and a small group that lend us kind words, and support, and money, and any number of things
-Trish's step-dad refurbished a lawn mower for us for free
-Clint gets a new job with major opportunities to do something he is interested in...and good at
-Clint is chosen to submit artwork for a Stations of the Cross exhibit at our church, and also possibly for printing to place in a hotel (and possibly some extra $$)
-Clint and Max are spending some very special boy time together
-I am exploring some great opportunities I wouldn't have otherwise looked at
-I am getting severance and we will get our portion of the Economic stimulus that will, once again, pay the bills

It is often easy to lose sight of, in the midst of all the drama, but we are very, very blessed.
