Blessings

Recently, my car has been showing its age. I can't seem to leave the county without coming home in a tow truck (with 2 children, no less!). I'm wondering if AAA doesn't think I just don't LIKE to drive home! I've been telling DH how much I need brakes, and he has resisted fixing them due to time constraints. So last week I went to a dealership and came home in a $10,000 car on an extended test drive. Oh was he mad about me looking at such a car! He said it was junk, so the next morning I went back, and came home in a $13,000 car. That made him even more angry, but the next day he went and bought brakes to put in my car!

When he checked my brakes, they were fine. He says there's nothing wrong with them. So he put it back together, and i got ready to head for the restaurant. I get in, put the key in the ignition, and step on the brake. SQUISH. Right to the floor. Now I have NO brakes, where before I just had very grindy noisy brakes that worked. Come to find out, there's a hole in my brake lines. All this time, driving all over creation, and my brakes have been noisy but functioning. They could have gone at ANY time. But they didn't. And we are all safe. And I am grateful. Funny how blessings come in strange packages.
