Our Car Went Berserk

 

I am musing about...

How Our Car Went Berserk!


This past week I was out in Indiana visiting our daughter and family. It was a fun time doing fun things with the grandsons. At one point, I had a couple of them in the car with me. We had just enjoyed ice cream at the park and they were loaded back in their car seats. As I stepped on the break and pushed the ignition button, it acted wierd. Didn't start. Strange lights came on. Then went off. On again. Off again. Hmmmm. I tried again, Same thing...

A small voice came from behind. "Grandma, did you think about praying about it?" Good idea. We did. It started. "Thank you Jesus." And we were off for our next adventure.

Well, honestly, I did not give it any more thought after that. I must have passed it off in my mind as a "fluke."

Until last night. It happened again. In our church parking lot. It went berserk again. Lights flashing. Strange vibrations. Couldn't get it to start. Strangely (humbled to admit this...), we could not find our jumper cables. And this is really wierding me out. (We "always" keep them in a laundry basket in the back of the SUV. They were not there?? Did you borrow them? Just saying 😊)

But, long story short. The vehicle sits in the church parking lot as I speak. Uh, write. A tow is on the way. We are thankful for our warrenty in case it is more then a battery.

So what is the point to all of this?

There are several.

1. So thankful for the faith of a child which encouraged me to pray

2. Humbled to realize that our good intentions of being prepared (with jumpers), can go awry. Human we are. Oh yes!

3. Thankful for a warrenty plan.

4. Realizing how we take our "wheels" for granted, and how much we appreciate the gift of transportation, being able to go where we want, when we want.

God loves it when His children seek Him in prayer. (By the way, He did not start the car last night when I prayed, it must not be His will this time. I am thankful it was a faith booster for our grandson. God is good). He often reminds us of our weakness, our total dependance on Him as our own plans do not always work out like we expect. Thankful for the warrenty plan He provides in a true believer's life,  that HE paid the price in full to provide a plan of eternal, undeserved salvation. Thankful for the MANY blessings that He provides. Every day, Blessings we so often take for granted!

That's it for now.

May you all be blessed with a good week....

Thanks for coming along on another little muse in our journey with Jesus!

God Stories. What's yours?

    I am marveling at God stories. What's yours?? Our daughter has a good friend. Her name is Stephanie. She is creative, talented, bubbly, sensitive and loves Jesus! And she wrote a book. For kids. About God. Called Always Remember . It is different then most kid's books. It has a poetic lilt which is beautiful, but atypical in its cadence. It's wording is unique; yet lovely. It is simple and it is deep.  It's premise is pivotal, declaring Truth! It is almost layered in that each reading of this basically simple book helps peel back another level of understanding and appreciation. It is a book that is actually instructional. It should be read often as a way to reflect and then to live. The main theme is teaching kids (and adults alike) to... Stop. Ponder. Remember God. To see Him every day in everything. To align daily with who He is. It is beautifully illustrated, with large colorful pictures that engage, teach, enlighten and intrigue. She shared how the book was firs...

There once was a fly....

  I am musing on a story that begins like this.... There once was a fly. There once was a fly. It lived in Salt Lake City. More specifically, in Kingsbury Hall on the campus of the University of Utah. Kingsbury Hall is the Performing Arts Center. So that fly had the opportunity to view many productions. Last night, that fly was viewing a televised production that likely millions were watching. As that fly buzzed around, it decided to land on a nice head of white hair. And stay there awhile. Little did he know, that he was sitting on the head of the Vice President of the United States. Little did he know how important the role of Vice President of the United States is. Little did he know how important the upcoming election which was being debated is. Little did he know how much of that country's future was at stake. Little did he know how many prayers were being offered for that man upon whose head he sat... and  for those he works with Little did he know of the challenges that...

Did you know Our Brother Jim?

  Did you know our brother Jim? Did you ever talk to him? Because if you did It's safe to say, There's a good chance  you made his day. He loved people, There is no doubt  He liked to visit Liked to find things out Not in a gossipy sort of way That was not Jim's kind of way, He simply cared  Took an interest you see, He just enjoyed knowing  About you and me, He loved his Jesus With all his heart He leaned on him greatly He did from the start, After he surrendered, Back in 78, From that time on He served love from his plate, He enjoyed little kids Had a heart for the old, He loved to sing, Had a faith that was bold, Took care of his mom With kindness and care, Took her for rides, They were quite a pair, They gardened together, Made apple sauce, As boys worked on their farm, He was a fun, friendly boss, He was a farmer Through and through, He embraced all the things That grain farmers do, Then there was that day Five years ago, When things changed forever An acci...
