our subaru lamentation

This morning our family woke up early (8:30 am) to take our car to the subaru dealership, to get some insight into why our car has been perpetually smelling like syrup everytime we drive.  The results were not what we were hoping for; some faulty  head gaskets. A fix which will require more money than what we have coming in our tax return, which we were planning on using to fix the car anyways.  We were advised that driving the car will only cause fruther damage to the engine and a larger price tag.  Alas tonight we find ourselves without the luxury our lovely, dependable shiny green subaru :(. But we do not despair, at least not yet.  Before we walked into the subaru dealership we prayed over our car and thanked God for what a blessing it has been to us for all this time, and mostly we prayed for our hearts that they would be encouraged no matter what happened to the car, and that we would only rejoice in light of the many many many things that we do have right now.  And so far, after day one of geting around town without the help of our subaru, we find our hearts still light, and thankful, especially for the Norman public bus system!!!  Please pray for us as we figure out what to do about our car.  And pray for our hearts as we go on living without the vehichle luxury, that we would not be frustrated but give thanks in all circumstances.
