I was in a rush on Friday afternoon. I had a long list of things to do and places to be. First stop, the post-office, to pick up my brand-new credit cards for the next 2-year period. As I neared the place, I felt something strange going on with the car (I'm pretty sensative to unusual noises, rattlings etc.). It felt as if one of the wheels were about to come off, or perhaps were seriously out of kilter.
Well, fortunately there's a wheel-balancing place nearby, and on a snap decision I headed straight there, just in case. The car was jacked up into the air and the front wheels removed for potential balancing.
And that's when we discovered that:
a) There was a nail lodged in the right-hand wheel, causing a slow leak of air and requiring frequent re-filling. And yes, that could be fixed for a few bucks.
b) The left-hand tyre was in imminent danger of bursting, thanks to a very worn spot that I wouldn't have noticed. This was causing the wobble. And yes, it could be replaced without breaking the bank.
So one was fixed, the next replaced, they were balanced and refitted, and I went on my way rejoicing.
Was it co-incidence that my credit cards arrived this week and that I had to make a trip in the opposite direction from my normal Friday shopping to pick them up? Was it co-incidence that I should feel a funny wobble just as I got there and stop by the wheel place as a result?
Nope, I don't think so. Just one more way God's making sure I'm OK.
Before you call He will answer...
