whew!
just came in from mowing a bit at the HM Ranch.
I praise God for the little victories, like finding a way to get the trailer door unlocked. I figured I'd try one more time before I hooked it up to the hitch to take it in for "them" to look at. I tried the key, was able to manuever it, and then compared the vertical vs. horizontal relationship between the door knob and the deadbolt, and figured I'd try to open it with it vertical. Then I discovered that it could go clockwise horizontal, too, and viola! It opened.
I'm so thankful. It takes a good hour and a half of just driving out of my day. Perhaps now I can get to the business of preparing my talking notes for next week.
Praise the Lord, for He is good.
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
A righteous man will have many troubles,
but the Lord delivers him from them all;
He protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken."
(Psalm 34:18-20)
Man, I've been so close to throwing a pity party lately (if I do, I'll send out invitations via email, haha), as one thing after another keeps going crazy. Here's hoping things get better. It's hard to lift your head when your heart is heavy. But looking around at family and pondering good things, there are plenty of reasons to lighten the heart.
