Several years ago it became necessary for my husband and me to learn that man always has all the spiritual good which God, his Father, forever provides him with as His offspring. We were living in a city which I did not want to accept as home. Though I did not fully realize it, I was clinging to the hope that we were living there temporarily. This attitude brought me much mental suffering followed by some bitter human experiences. Because of lack of housing and high rentals, we had to live in a small basement apartment for nearly eight years. During this period my husband had to be away from home a great deal, often three weeks at a time.
Then the opportunity came for him to transfer to a far-western city. The move would afford us a new and better home and a position for my husband in which no travel was involved. I especially welcomed the thought of leaving the city where we were. However, during the several days before we made the final decision to move, there was continual mental questioning whether the change was right or wrong.
But we decided to go ahead with the transfer. My husband was replaced, most of our home furnishings were disposed of, and we left the state. During the week's training at his headquarters office two thousand miles away, my husband again felt indecision. The thought persistently came to him that this was not a right move and that he should return to his former territory. At the time there was no apparent reason for this decision. The company granted permission for his return.
