This is what Dana, my sister-in-law, has dubbed my house. And today I'm convinced it's true. These are the things that have happened just in the past several weeks...
-Our washer went out, so we replaced it.
-Our dryer and dishwasher were on their last legs also, so we took further advantage of the sale at Sears and replaced them.
-Our television went out AGAIN and Best Buy finally replaced it.
-Our 6 month old Dyson is not acting right, but of course, the repair guy says there's nothing wrong with it (still dealing with that one with Dyson).
-The mustang won't start and won't jump off...pretty sure it's the battery, just haven't gotten around to dealing with that.
-This weekend, our Mac crashed - won't start up at all, took it to the Mac store, and it needs a new hard drive. Dee is working on getting our files off of it.
I told Dee I was going to go ahead and shoot our other car, the oven, & the refrigerator just to put them out of their misery, since they're doomed here.
In the midst of all this, we were driving home from the mall after receiving the dreaded verdict at the Mac store and we were listening to J.R. It was a song I love about leaving all our cares with the Lord and how He dries our tears and gives us joy and peace. Then we passed the scene of a wreck where the ambulance was already there with its doors open ready to take someone away. You know, so much more could happen. It doesn't take away the frustration of all that's happening to our gadgets or our wallet, but it does put it in perspective.
He is faithful even when so much else is not.
