We had Patty’s car towed to a body shop this morning, and here’s where it gets worse–the shop said there was too much damage, they didn’t want to bother with it.
She loves that car, and it doesn’t have much mileage on it. Plus it’s all my fault. We have to find someone who’ll do the work; this shop today was just too busy. Maybe our neighbor Josh knows somebody. I’ll ask. He thought it could be repaired, when he saw it.
We would very much appreciate your prayers for this. We just want the car back. It doesn’t have to look like it just came out of the showroom.
Please, Father, get us through this: in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Praying for you to find someone willing to make the repairs without raking you over the coals.
All the body shops so far seem to have more work than they want.
Oh, how saddening – and maddening. I’ll definitely be praying. I can’t think of anything else to say. It’s too awful. Prayers going up right now.
Prayers sent.
I pray the Lord will put you together with just the right person. He knows where to find that one.
It’s really depressing! Patty loves that car. My father picked it out for her, shortly before he died. It’s one of the few cars left with roll-up windows. And the accident was all my fault!
Most people go through those kinds of problems. But when it happens to you, well, you are not most folks, and now it hits home and is very personal. And it was picked out by someone special, and it might not be able to be fixed…our prayers are being given. But remember, it seems everyone is OK, physically, as far as I know. So that kind of pain you been kept from. As Paul stated, he was content in whatever situation he found himself in. That is easy to say, but it’s what we all need to strive for in our lives.
“Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me. This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:19-23
Will pray.
