The kids love riding in the new van! 
We've never owned a vehicle made in this century until now! It's a 2002 Chrysler Town and Country. It has automatic sliding doors and all kinds of fancy gadgets and functions.
Grandpa Joel and King Jo wash and dry the van while Alathia watches.We are so thankful to be driving the minivan that God provided! King Jo's folks brought it out from MN on their trailer and it was immaculate! Not only did they put a full new set of snow tires on it for us as a gift, but they bought a bunch of van-washing supplies so we can keep it looking sparkly. My father-in-law is a perfectionist with the vehicles in his care so they always look beautiful!
Boy, I sure feel like I'm a high-schooler "playing house" when I drive a van full of my own kids around town! Where did the time go? How can I possibly have THREE kids already?
Our van is a testimony to the fact that God always takes care of us, even when circumstances look hopeless or we have financial burdens. I need to remember this especially now, as we need a bigger place to live but can't find anything affordable to rent in our town, and our landlords are raising our current rent in a month.
God is good and we thank Him for the new wheels!
Praise God for His faithfulness and provision! He'll provide for your housing needs, as well.
ReplyDeleteGod bless your lovely family!
How funny! I remember feeling the same way when we first got our minivan a few months after the birth of our third child (that 'third' just turned seven . . .)
ReplyDeleteThat vehicle has been such a blessing to us, and I pray yours is to you as well.
