Encouraging Joy & Grace

Brick walls

Okay. Before I tell you this story I really have to state I do know how to back up a car. For eleven years I lived at the bottom of s steep, gravel, curved road. I could back up it with my stick shift in the dark and rain. So this story is not about my lack of driving skill. It's about my inattention.

Oops.

My husbad is a kind and patient person. He came and rescued me and my car. He even stuck the broken off piece of trim in the back of his car. Without snide, sarcastic or demeaning comment. He wins.

This is my sweet friend whose brick wall I massacred. She didn't yell at me either. Neither did her two lovely neighbors. I woke them up on a Sunday morning. They came out of their house, took a look at my car and then said. "Oh girl!" About summed it up.

While waiting for my spouse to come assess the situation my youngest was running up and down the driveway. She tripped and gloriously skinned her knees. My friend scooped her up on a massive hug and went to find bandaids.

Friends and Family. This is what to do. When your friends fall down help them up. When your family crashes come to the rescue. We all know this is right. My accident was due to inattention not lack of knowledge. We do the most harm to our relationships not because we do not know the right way to go but because we fail to pay attention.

Thanks team. I love you.

Oh, Mindy! Such a perfect application of "a friend in need is a friend indeed" plus an added dollop of Proverbs 17:17 "a friend loves at all times"

This is so funny. Mark and I just had this conversation yesterday. He asked me to pick him up at the bike shop at Open House. He told me just to pull into the construction zone, since nothing was going on at 6:00 on a Sat. night. I pulled in in-between two parking lot closed signs. When Mark got in the car, I started to say "Can you back up between those signs?" However, all Mark heard me say was "Can you back up?" He snorted at me and said "Can I Back Up???" Then he had to roll down the window and tell his co-worker what I had just said. I knew Mark could back up........
Then we went to cruise down main Street in the Land Cruiser - which took 1 hour and 45 minutes!!!!!
