Gotta sell a car and maybe put house up 4 sale....and rent somewhere smaller ...almost going bankrupt

the shit has hit the fan.....prayers and positivity

So sorry.
Positive vibes coming your way!

Chin up Maddy girl! Been through a lot of that myself and am very happy! Dynamic shifts are openings....

Thanks Paisley..., Coolcat, Muse... and ThreadBare.


Muse...I'm trying, but as I said on another thread no one in the house is working so it may have to come to that unless there is a stable income...it feels like u've failed if u have 2 sell ur place and have 2 declare bankruptcy...

Glad ur happy , Yea I tend to think so 2, one door closes another opens...

I'll keep you in prayer.

I know that feeling, only too well.

Don't give up - keep plugging away at those job applications and try to stay positive

Sending positive thoughts your way

we did that, and though we didn't think much about it at the time our house did sell soon after.

I think a big part of it is really asking Joe for a favor. He's proudly on display in our new place

Sorry 2 hear that.

The novena works. It was a nine day prayer developed to buy Christians out of slavery and they didn't know where the money would come from.

Seriously, Mary works it out for a sister.

I have never heard of that. I will try that myself.

Oh dear! I'm so sorry for your troubles. Stay strong and keep your head up!

My prayers go out even now.

The United States Catholic Information Center in Washington, D.C., traces the tradition of burying St. Joseph back hundreds of years to St. Theresa of Avila (1515-1582), who prayed to St. Joseph (the patron saint of the family and household needs) for more land for Christian converts and encouraged her Discalced Carmelite nuns to bury St. Joseph medals in the ground as a symbol of their devotion.

Today, folks bury statues of St. Joseph instead of medals (some say the reason he is depicted as bald in so many statues is that he's been buried upside-down too many times). He can be buried in the front yard, upside down, facing away from the house or in the back yard, right side up, facing the house. Some cultures say once the house is sold, you must dig him up and take him with you. Others insist you leave him in the ground at your old house and buy a new one. Everyone agrees you need to give him a place of honor at your new home.

Though St. Joseph Home Sale Kits can be purchased (in prices ranging from $9.95 to almost $30.00), the most important factor is said to be faith. If you don't truly believe in divine intervention, they say, don't expect positive results.

If you want to do-it-yourself, here's how:

1. Get a statue of St. Joseph. The size of the statue has nothing to do with how much money you're going to get for your house, thank goodness.

2. Bury him on your property (see instructions, above).

3. Ask him to help you sell your home. The following is from an Internet kit, and is definitely not the kind of prayer I would suggest be used: "Oh, St. Joseph, guardian of household needs, we know you don't like to be upside down in the ground, but the sooner escrow closes, the sooner we will dig you up and put you in a place of honor in our new home. Please bring us an acceptable offer (or any offer!) and help sustain our faith in the real estate market."

4. Thank him after your home sells.

5. Share your experience of how he helped you with others.

Does doing all this guarantee that St. Joseph will sell your house? Of course not. It's a silly superstition. But 2 million St. Joseph statues are sold nationally each year with enough testimonials from satistified home sellers to make believers out of many. I'll confess that as I write this, I'm staring out my window at the lovely new statue of St. Joseph and his family we placed in our back yard. When I buried him at our old home (which I sold myself), we had our buyer within a week.

That's really interesting - thanks Eric!

My brother-in-law is desperately trying to sell his house, here in the UK. He moved over to Georgia last year and married in January, but is unable to buy a marital home until he's sold his old one here. I think I'll email him and tell him to get a statue there and post it over for us to bury for him

Thanks again for the info
