Staying Positive

Hello fellow mylotters!! Hope every one is doing well. Wow!! What a "weekend" we had!! We've been searching for burn barrels for quite some time. Before we split the land up, the mother-in-law had bought some used burn barrels from the village. Well, burning most of the landfill that people left here, those burn barrels aren't worth burning anymore and she bought them, so they're NOT ours anyway! But the village don't have any more. Our friends/neighbors are keeping an eye out for us some. The other day I found some in FaceBook's MarketPlace. One had some and at first he was hesitant that we lived so far away, like apparently he would delivery them, but I messaged him that we had a way of getting them. Then he was fine with us getting some, so he determined a time on Wednesday that was convenient for both of us. He gave us his number and address. (The trip was 141 miles one way) We got 62 miles and the hubby says "Oh, dang we lost a wheel!!!" My heart jumped out of my skin!! One of the wheels fell off of our trailer because the wheel bearings broke. So, we're 25 miles from any town that had wheel bearings!! But we got it fixed and put on and was on the road again. As the hubby was fixing it I had a little setback, I began to question why this was happening to us??? But then I turned my attitude around and found the positive things about the situation. We were lucky that no one was hurt, we were lucky that it was just the trailer and not on the Jeep and most importantly, I was thankful that my husband could fix it and that we had money to buy the part. I know in the past when a situation like that would have happened I would have doubted my faith, but this time I knew there was a reason for this happening, even though it was something we didn't want to happen. Instead of pulling away from my faith I came closer and realized how lucky we were even though it was something we didn't want to happen. When you're in a situation that you don't want to be in or you are wondering why this is happening, do you try to look on the bright/positive side of things?? ~Peace~
