a Monday funny...

I was on my way home from a few nights stay at the beach with my mom and sister when the thing you fear in the back of your mind happens. Your engine light comes on. It starts flashing... overheating; needs coolant, needs oil change! Every light you could imagine started flashing!  Oh my goodness, I'm alone! Thank you Jesus, I wasn't very far from home. About 30 miles. So thankful that it didn't happen while I was on the interstate too. I immediately pulled over, finding a driveway that was safe to pull into. I called my husband. Thank you Lord for partners that don't ask a lot of questions they just move into action. I took a deep breath and said, "Thank you Jesus that you are always with me. You never leave me." Tears filled my eyes with the thought of dealing with this without a mate like so many have to do. I remembered the feeling.  "Thank you Lord for my husband," I said.  It was within minutes that I received a message from the towing company wanting to know my location. My efficient husband was right on it! So all was well. The only thing now was, I was hungry. It was 2:00 and I had not had anything since breakfast. I had about a 30 minute wait for my husband and the tow truck to arrive and remembered the hummus, pita chips, and boiled egg I had in my insulated lunch bag. It hit the spot. Half way into the snack however I realized I desperately needed something to drink.  Looking all over the car and through my bags for a bottle of water, I saw the bottle of wine sticking its head out of my bag. I like to drink a little while sitting on the beach watching the sun set so there was a little left over from our beach trip.  I thought. I shouldn't. It's so early in the day. I knew that I wouldn't be driving so I said, " Why not, I'm thirsty." I poured a little into an empty water bottle that I found in the floor board of the car. It was hot. But, it quenched my thirst. Those chickpeas, dry boiled egg, and chips were stuck right in the middle of my throat. It's kinda funny how things work out sometimes.

Just picture this... I'm sitting side the road, car broken down, boiling hot sun, eating hummus and chips and drinking wine out of a water bottle. You just have to laugh!!! 

So... when life throws you a lemon just make a little lemonade (or wine) 😎

Thanking God for His provision. Always ❤❤
