As you know, I am partially employed. I have three steady hours of work a week. I couldn't afford to travel to Texas so my parents paid for me to come home for Thanksgiving. I decided to drive because it was $100 cheaper and I could visit friends along the way. I had almost no money in my account other than gas money.
I don't know about you, but before a trip I fill my car up with gas, print of directions from google maps, check the fluids in my car, and check the air pressure in my tires.

Yesterday night around 9 pm I stopped to fill up my car and check the air pressure. My passenger rear tire was basically flat. AIGOO! Not good when you are driving half-way accross teh country the next day. I was sort of bummed considering it cuts into my visiting time with the Conners.
On the other hand, I have felt that the tire was off for some time. I have even checked its pressure before. So its a relief to know it is taken care of. I had convinced myself that it was all in my head that my tire was low.
Though there are multiple things I was bummed about, there really are MORE things to be thankful for.
Lord,
Thank you for Your protection.
Thank you that I didn't have to put a spare tire on my car.
Thank you that I found an 8 am appointment I could make online, enabling me to sleep peaceably last night.
Thank you that because of my history using Discount Tire, that this tire was getting fixed for FREE! A totally unexpected blessing.
Thank you that Georgia time is an hour ahead of Arkansas so I really might not lose as much time as I originally thought!
Thank you for giving me this 30 minutes at Discount Tire to spend with you. What a great way to start a trip.
Your goodness to me is unmerited, but that is what makes it so good. You are a loving Father who cares for His children.
