The
guard Christmas party this year was so great. On the way home our car
was causing us some problems. We were not sure what was going on. (our fuel pump went out) It
would drive a few feet quit, we would have to sit for awhile and the
wonderful process would start again. Finally Jers tells everyone to be
quiet as he says a prayer. As he finishes, he sits for awhile, tries to
start the car, off we go. We made it out of camp dodge a least:). When
he gets the car going again he states I'm not taking the freeway, I am
going the long way. The car does not cause us too much trouble until we
get almost home. This happens to be at a main stoplight where many of
the people from our old ward would be going by at that EXACT TIME!!!!! I
am soooo embarrassed. I say "why did you go this way? everyone will
see us." He replies "I know, that's why, I new we would need the help they would
be willing to offer." Offer they did!!!!! Within seconds the younger
kids and I had a ride home, Jers had tons of people offering to help. How blessed and loved we felt at the tender mercy of that moment.
The
following day I had agreed to let Jers take the car hunting and go
without one due to the fact that the weather had been nice. I could
walk Ashlynn to preschool and other than that we could just stay home that day. It would be
a lot of walking because I would also need to go back and pick her up.
We woke up to freezing cold rain and wind. I had no car and I new
Ashlynn would not be happy if we skipped preschool. WHAT TO DO??? I had decided we would bundle up REALLY good and just walk. I was a little concerned how Ashlynn would handle walking in the rain & wind to school:). I
went on about my day but had a prayer in my heart to know what I should
do. I really didn't want to bother anyone for help. All the sudden my
phone rang. It was a preschool friend I had never met. The mom wondered if her
daughter could come over to our house, play with Ashynn, then she would take them to school and
bring Ashlynn home. UM YES!!! 2 tender mercies in less than 24 hours. I felt very blessed by our own little Christmas miracles indeed!!!
