The New (Used) Car

This week Robin and I drove over to Lake Charles and picked up her new (used) car. It's a 2005 Ford Escape. She loves it! She test drove this vehicle and a Mustang and preferred the Escape. She said she felt 'safer' in it. (What a smart girl!) God really blessed us with a great deal.
Since the kids were born, one of our goals was to bless them with a good car in their Senior year of High School that they can drive while in college. I am so thankful that God helped us to meet this goal with Robin. She's such a good girl and has been such a good student and I'm so glad we can bless her this way.
I know those who are reading will remember your first car. It's a really cool experience and Robin responded in typical fashion. She was giddy. Giggling the entire time. The truth is, I was too. Driving home from Lake Charles, I kept looking back in the rearview mirror and it seemed like Robin's smile took up the entire windshield of that car. My heart was so full I asked God, "Is this what you feel when you get to bless your children?" I think it is.
