A Change of Temperature

Typically, my Thankful Thursday entries are the small day-to-day blessings around me.

Today, is a larger blessing.

12 years ago, God gave us a beautiful car.

It was brand new and afforded us 3 years to not worry about major problems while hubby was out to sea.

The car was priced amazingly low.

It was a simple car - 5 speed, no a/c. am-fm cassette.

Just the base model.

The lack of AC was not a problem in NY, it was definitely not a problem in Seattle.

We moved to NC and the lack of AC was a little more unpleasant,

it was only for 4 years, right?

Well, 4 years have turned into 8.

Last Wednesday,

we began looking for a new car.

I emailed a few dealership 

and found one that listened to my requests

and offered a good, even great, price.

We did not have to haggle or go back and forth.

So today, 

I am thankful for my new car.

I am thankful for the good price.

I am thankful for the car dealer who listened and arranged everything online.

I am thankful for a car with air conditioning.

I am thankful that our old car sold at a fair price.

I am thankful that we could sell it to a student in the trailer park.

I am thankful that it sold in only 2 days
(this was a blessing since it was a 5 speed and had no a/c).
