Exponentially Engstrom: A Tender Mercy: Friday, August 1, 2014

I can't believe it is August already!
We are really booking it for home. We drove pretty much all day today.
What a tender mercy we had today!

We have been needing an oil change for a long time. When we were in Virginia, Dad spent at least an hour on the phone trying to find a place that could handle our tall vehicle. He had no luck.

A couple days ago, when we stopped to fill up our tank somewhere in Indiana, Mom and Radiant tried going to different places and still, no luck.

Mom was understandably feeling concerned about it. After making it this far, the last thing we needed was car trouble. She decided to make it a matter of prayer and to trust Heavenly Father to show us where to go.

Later, we pulled into a playground for lunch in Henderson, Nebraska, just a few miles off the freeway.

Mom looked across the street and RIGHT THERE was a bay at an automobile service shop that was clearly big enough for our RV! She went right over to see if they could, by chance, service our motorhome.

We were parked where the gray truck is...

Mom looked to the left and this is what she saw! Look at that big bay!

How 'bout that?

The results of her inquiry were startling. Not only could they service us, but they could get us in NOW.

When the service guy pulled out our filter, it was so filthy that he came over to the park to show us. It was pitch black. He also said that our oil was very low.

Since we have approximately 1000+ miles left to go, it is a very good thing we were able to service the motorhome.

The Lord has really taken good care of us, and we are very grateful for His care.

Then we drove for a long time, and stayed in Ogallala, Nebraska. Cool name, right?

We went swimming and I made a new friend. It’s always fun to do that!
