Timed Perfectly to the Day

But now for the untold part of the story. Toward the end of the financial year with Garry and Glenys taking care of things for us, there were a number of months when we had no tenants in the house. This went on from December for three months into the next year. We kept thinking of the money we were losing in rent and we were having to take care of the mortgage ourselves which was depleting our resources. It seemed critical to get someone in there. Finally, after a few months of waiting, a couple appeared on the scene who wanted to rent our house. They planned to move in March but struck a problem and it was delayed until the beginning of April. We were thinking the timing of things was not working out. What is going on here LORD? You promised to take care of everything for us but this doesn’t seem to be working out that well. What is going on? After the couple had moved in and started paying rent, we learned that the Tax Dept had changed the rebate rules on tax deductions, such that if the couple had moved in March as they intended, we would not have been able to claim a rebate on the outgoings because we had rented our house in that tax year. But because they didn’t move until the beginning of the next financial year (April), we could claim the whole year’s interest paid on the mortgage, which was worth way more than three months rent on the house. God’s timing was again perfect, timed down to the day.
