Good for you.

I have some dear friends, long-term friends, from whom I rented a house many years ago. I was very weak with mono when I was moving out so instead of cleaning it myself, I paid a friend to do the heavy duty things, such as the oven, floors, etc. Normally I would do that myself.

When my landlord friends came over to get the keys (they hadn't required a deposit), they were almost dumbstruck. The husband pointed to the large bandage on his wife's leg (she had on shorts), said she had just had surgery on it, and they were not in a position to be able to clean the house at the time to put it up for rent again and that, because of the way I was leaving it, they could rent it that day. He said they'd never had anyone leave it in the same or better condition -- till I moved out. It did a lot for our friendship. To me, it was just being a good steward, and what I would hope anyone would do. Sadly, not so.

Exactly...

It was a part of my Christian witness.

Oh...I found the FEMA trailers, for anyone interested:

Click on Trailers and Tractors. Then click on any of the hurricane states.
