it all started the day my car’s tire light came on  . . . so

I gave my car a tire, a brand new tire (didn’t really have a choice as flat ones don’t roll well)

then my car wanted another new tire to match the first one

then she wanted and got a tire rotation

next she asked for and got an alignment

then my car’s oil light came on, so I gave her an oil change,  . . . but

while her oil light was still on, her gas light came on, so I filled her up  (she wanted the super silver premium, “gourmet gas” — she got regular; I have my limits)

then she wanted a wash to look her best (don’t know who she was trying to impress?)

then she asked for a “works wash” with tire shine added (must be wanting to show off her new tires?)

and all because I gave my car a new tire . . .

my car is most definitely “high maintenance”

moral?  never, ever, ever dear readers, give your car a new tire —  unless of course you have no choice –but then be prepared for what will follow . . .

“give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”  (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

“Rejoice in the Lord always.  I will say it again: Rejoice!” (Philippians 4:4)

“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;  His love endures forever.” (Psalm 106:1)

“Let them give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love and His wonderful deeds for men.”  (Psalm 107:21)

Lord, thank You that I have transportation and thank You that my tire didn’t blow, but let her air out real, real slow and got me where I needed to go.

sincerely,      Grace Day
