The Hand of Providence

All I can say is WOW!

In October our driver side airbag was replaced by the dealership on a recall. Days later, the airbag light came on. Friday I headed back to the dealer hoping the problem was with the newly fixed airbag, and therefore free to repair. However, this was not to be.

The service man let me know that it was the unit that controls all the airbags in the minivan that needed to be replaced. WONDERFUL! Sounds very expensive! Perfect at Christmas time!

Then he said, "But." and I felt the world stop. He continued, "Honda extended their warranty to 150 thousand miles, and your car has 149K. We'll have to order the part, it could take a few days to get here, and by then you may be over the 150K mark."

A few minutes later, he let me know that he could reset the order so that if I go over the 150K mark before the repair is completed the repair would be under warranty. To be honest, at that moment I wasn't sure I would need that coverage. I figured we had a couple hundred miles to spare, we I got in the car to leave the dealer, I saw that we had 17 miles left before 150K. The dealer is in Longmont, I didn't make it anywhere near home before we hit that mark. What a blessing! The Lord does have His hands in our lives.The Lord's providence was certainly evident to our family, in a MAJORLY obvious way! Thank you, Lord, for how you care for you children, like the lilies of the field, and birds of the air!

Thankful for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was WONDERFUL this year! We were able to have a GREAT Bible Blast Kids Club with our kids from Overlook. They even made a craft with what they are thankful for. It was good to see. We are thankful for the kids that come and for our helper, Cheryl and her two kids and come.

On Thanksgiving day we had a great time with family in Littleton. We love hearing everyone share what they are most thankful for this year. It was fun to hear that Brian and I had just about the same list of things on our Thanksgiving card. We each wrote something like this, "The Lord's grace, goodness, and provision, my wonderful spouse, our precious children, outreach ministry, family and friends!" I particularly liked the wonderful spouse part! He He He!
