In the Blink of an Eye

Mike and Kylie's house went on the market Friday night at 6:00 p.m.
Saturday morning, they had a showing at 8:30 am and then another one again at 9:30 am.
One of those people, made an offer, Kylie counter offered, and within an hour, they had the home sold, for only $1000. less than what they were asking.
It was fast....really really fast.
And now, they have found an apartment to move into and they will be gone in two weeks.
That was fast...really really fast.
The bad and good of it all???
The Lord is on a really 'fast track' to answering prayers these days.  If you're living your life right and doing all you can to keep the commandments and do what is right...your prayer seems to get moved to the 'fast lane'.
The bad part of it...it moves our sweet grandchildren right 'out of our reach' to be convenient.  No seeing them in the hallway at church, or passing by the Bishop's office, or peeking in our sacrament meetings or just stopping by on our way somewhere.  At least, that's what it will be for Del.
For me???  Yippee!  They are moving literally 'down the street' from my new office here at work!  It will take me two minutes to get to their apartment on my lunch hour; where I will spend a lot of my days!!! 
'In the blink of an eye' they will be gone - and 'in the blink of an eye', I'll be able to see them 4 days a week for lunch.  Always a bright side to everything.
