Bad Luck Comes in Threes - I Hope

This week has been full of adventure! Even though most of it has been bad luck we have been pretty blessed  because it could have been worse! 

First of all, last week I was preparing dinner for our company and our stove/oven blew up while I was cooking the meat. Everyone was expected to arrive in less than an hour and I had a pan full of uncooked meat and nothing to cook it with. Thank goodness for a calm husband who saved the day by suggesting the microwave and the crockpot  for a fantastic taco soup. Everything worked out perfectly.

Yesterday, I was boiling an egg before church. While I was taking it out of the pot of water it fell back into the water splashing me, scalding my arm and burning me quite badly.

Finally, today Patrick was headed to work on site just outside of Edmonton and because of the treacherous road conditions he was in a pretty serious car accicent. Luckily no one was hurt but the other car was a complete write off with over $20, 000 in damage.

I look back on all three of these events and I can see many blessings in the things that have happened. We were blessed to find a 'new to us' stove for a reasonable price that was a step up from my old stove, my burn could have been way worse than it was and Patrick was driving the work truck and not our car which may have saved his life. How blessed we are! I am so grateful to have a Heavenly Father who loves us and is always looking out for us.
