This week our van is in the shop getting repairs. This means that if we want to go somewhere as a family we have to squeeze all 6 of us into my extended cab Dodge Dakota! But the other thing it has meant is that Steph and I have had to "synchronize" schedules alot more than normal. I think this is a good thing. We are asking ourselves, do we really need to go here? and How can we work it around to make it happen? We are having to sacrifice some freedom in order to accomodate one another.
Sometimes our affluence (having 2 vehicles) gets in the way of really learning what it means to love and serve one another. This week we are getting a chance to put those lessons into practice.
2:3 Do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility count others better than yourselves. 2:4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
I think the only fair thing is for you to ride your bike, and give the car to Steph and the kids. :) (I am ay behind in commenting on this, so hopefully you are back to normal now!)
