And the end result was a blue barina that got the girl & I safely round Brisbane for years & years & got 2 of us through bible school before succumbing to old age & the decay of this world.
By then, of course, the girl had herself a brand new car & was driving herself & I was cosily holed up on my island under the naive belief I need never go anywhere or do anything requiring Brisbane ever, ever again.
It is not so.
For one thing there are performances...
For another I now have babysitting duties as the Little Man's Móraí...
Then there is the MOTH....
Our ministry has been going through some mighty changes & one of those seems to be to send the man to bible school ~ an option he has firmly resisted on the grounds of finances, car, & he's not a preacher. That I disagreed with him on all counts did not matter. He was adamant. So was God. He agrees with me! ☺
Consequentially the man has been saving & planning for the needed car. Saturday morning he began looking in a general sort of way because we didn't have quite enough cash...& that little voice in my head whispered, Blue Barina...
I didn't listen. We weren't actually buying a car ~ just looking.
Saturday afternoon we bought a Blue Barina. We have to travel out to Ipswich on Wednesday to pick it up but though it is an older car it looks like new, has low mileage & is spic & span both inside & out.It opens up a number of different areas for us. And it was the Sale of the Day ~ meaning it was the best price & the best value on offer! Thank you, Lord ~ but what is it with us & little blue cars?
I get the "blue." Honestly, most blue-eyed people I known have blue as their favorite color so...I am kind of not surprised.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...interesting theory, especially as neither The MOTH's nor ODD's eyes are blue. ☺
ReplyDeleteBut yours are and they love you!
