We Arrived!

Have you ever had appliance failure?  We fit into that catagory today!  Could do without most of these items but, why?  My hair dryer died. Dishwasher died.  Tiller has broken tynes and can no longer handle reverse, wimp.  Clothes dryer makes holes in every load we have, knew I needed a clothes line.  Ohh and the cars.  Family mini van in the shop.  We drove our truck into town today. Clark (truck) had some issues while he was driving us into town.  Clark is our farm truck.  Not a lot is asked of him.  Drive us to the dump.  Haul materials.  Be available on our farm, not "drive us to the city ol' Boy! "
 Ol' Clark got stage fright in the city of Nashville today.  As we drove from our small town trying to make it to a speaking engagement in Nashville, he stuttered... transmission?  The rains came and he had no way to wipe away His tears.  Yep, the windshield wipers were broken. Ol' Clark does not get heated often, only his family.  AC is not a necessity either.  Blinkers or the other hand.  Well, let's just say, Ol' Clark was not flashy or blinky on his right or left side today.  The rains came and Ol' Clark did not wipe a single tear, which meant limited visibility for a while.  All I could do was laugh.  Add our five children into the mix, it was comical. "What time is it?"  "Are we there yet?"  "Are we going to wreck?"  "Are we late?"
We borrowed my in-laws car because they are out of town.  We made it to our destination!  We ARRIVED!!!

Silly, life minors happen!  I am aware that our family is happy and lively!  I am thankful.   I love the Father of all.  I know He has plans for us...purpose!   Now, celebration is in order!

As an encouragement to my loved ones.... CELEBRATE THE MINORS!!!  Many times we have goals we arrive at,  only to keep forging ahead.  CELEBRATE THE MINORS!

We arrived at the destination a bit late. WE ARRIVED!!! We did not damage our children in the process of getting there. YEAH!
