A viewer sent a testimonial: “WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM: I needed to find a reliable person to replace a long-term tenant. WHAT CHANGED: Many people expressed interest, but one applicant, we'll call Rafael, stood out to my rental agent and then to me for his heartbreaking story and warm attitude. He had suffered two deaths in his immediate family over the past year, his wife from cancer and his 19-year-old son in a car accident. Despite all of that, compassion and love oozed from him. I could see that God was firmly in his situation. Everything else checked out, so the agent and I agreed to interview him and immediately agreed to sign him to a lease. SEVERAL SYNCHRONICITIES ENSUED: First, in reviewing details after the lease signing, I learned that Rafael had a second last name, common in Hispanic circles, that he had not used on the lease. Why is that important? The last name rhymed with the original tenant's last name, my late brother-in-law [name withheld] who passed on 2022, and with my dog's name [name withheld]. For those who look for signs, this was practically "written in the sky with letters 1,000 feet high" (from the 60s movie and title song, To Sir with Love). Then, I mentioned to Rafael that I would be replacing the kitchen stove because the ceramic top was badly cracked. The agent had advised to replace it sooner, but I had waited in case the new tenant had his or her own. To my surprise, not only did Rafael need to bring his own stove, but it was a perfect match for the black-and-white themed kitchen. In addition to that, Rafael also has a small dog and I asked hopefully during the lease signing if he had a cat, but he said no. I said that's fine, but was secretly disappointed because, although we had recently resolved an ongoing mouse issue by paying a professional to systematically seal the entire building envelope, cats can also be very helpful but none of us had one. Then, about day three after he moved in, my dogs noticed a cat in his bedroom window—a welcome surprise! Rafael said he had her in his prior place but had given her to his sister-in-law, trying to be prudent about bringing in two animals as a newcomer. But his dog and the cat were very bonded and she cried for her doggy friend when Rafael left her behind initially, but now knowing my preference, he brought her over. In addition to those synchronicities, notwithstanding a difference in skin color, Rafael bears a strong physical resemblance to my late, beloved brother-in-law in terms of stature and build. Finally, his lease began on my hoped-for date without any break in the rent schedule, so that's very helpful and as we have gotten more acquainted, I can see he's a very solid character. Friends helped him move and he quickly but patiently got everything nicely set up down there, surrounded by family photos and love letters from his late wife, and his remaining family network and friends have been by his side throughout the transition. WHAT I WOULD TELL OTHERS: Never be afraid to invite Creator into your problem-solving scenarios, as wonderful answers can appear in many meaningful ways.” Was the divine realm involved in helping to bring the new tenant his way, especially one whose circumstances provided such meaningful synchronicities?

This was, indeed, a divine-assisted orchestration to bring these parties together, a prospective tenant finding his way to a landlord who is in divine alignment and making regular requests for divine support through inspiration, guidance, healing, and protection. It is a good example of the matchmaking we engage in routinely for people of faith, who reach out to us through prayer, wanting to have things go well in their life with respect to those who they meet and develop relationships with. So a landlord-tenant partnership is in many ways no different than an employee and subordinate coming together or life partners finding one another and marrying. We work on all of humanity with respect to helping create opportunities for people to find one another who have good chemistry because of similar karmic histories or even prior relationships with one another in other times and places. Regardless of the reason for compatibility, love makes the world go round, and to whatever extent it is present, things will be easier, more positive and beneficial, and ultimately productive.
