God's Perfect Timing

God's Perfect Timing, Tires, and help from our neighbor. This weekend was an eventful, or should I say, uneventful one.
All we wanted to do was plant our garden, but that happened later than expected. First, we had to go shopping Friday night and come home to the sound of SHHHHHHH! It was quite loud. It was the sound of a nail piercing our tire and taking the air right out of it.
So Saturday looked not so fun to deal with. We knew we would need to get a replacement tire and didn't want to drive around too long on the spare. So, we tried to take the tire off. Well, one of the nuts was a locking one. So, Ralph believes he was trying all the wrong ones to remove the tire. Everything else seemed okay. Next, we called the neighbor and he came over and seemed to know which nuts to loosen first.
Finally, we had to call Peruzzi. The tire still wasn't coming off, and we had a limited amount of time to get the tire on a get our tire repaired. So, we tried kicking the tire and found that the rubber mallet was the right tool we needed. Finally!
God worked it all out. The aggravation was the worst part. The tire repair cost was the best part. Only a little over $10.00. Wow! That was an inexpensive bill.
As we told the repairman at Peruzzi, the tire went flat at just the right moment. We were home, safe and in our driveway. We were ready to unload our groceries from Wal-Mart and were not stuck on the road somewhere. God took care of us and protected us from harm.
What an Awesome God we serve!
