Our Own Miracle

About a month ago, I was looking for a small table-top organ (or one with legs) for Les to practice on. We didn't find any on first exploration and Les said he didn't really need one.

What I was originally looking for.

A couple of days ago, Les' friend who works at a nursing home, told him that the nursing home was about to trash a Baldwin organ, two tier with foot pedals. Anyone who could move it out of the nursing home could have it for free.

I immediately rearranged the living room to make room. Les tried to get someone who had a pick up truck and some muscle ( the thing weighs about 200 lbs by my gestimate). No one was available and the non-returned phone calls were plentiful.

We gave up the prospect of getting the organ and mourned the waste of a beautiful musical instrument. We took a trip to Columbus and shopped a bit and ate out for Les' Father's Day.

Suddenly, on Saturday around 5 pm. someone from the church called back and offered to help. 4 men and 2 youths showed up in a pick up truck and moved the organ into our house.

I wanted to get a lesser model and pay for it. Now we have this for free! God said "Wait" and here's what we have for our own personal miracle:

It didn't come with a bench, but one of our end tables serves perfectly.

Very grateful and happy,

Thanks for visiting with me.
