This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!
I am so grateful for another day to serve the Lord. He is faithful and I am abundantly blessed that His mercies are new every morning.
Last night, I took my pastor, Manuel Alejandro Alvarado, his wife Veronica and his daughter Priscila out to dinner at Pescaderia Garcia in Piedras Negras. The special occasion we celebrated was Alejandro and Veronica’s 14th wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful meal and picked up a Choco-Flan cake for them to celebrate with at home.
On our way, when we were just passing the prison near Centinela, there was a terrible grinding sound coming from the rear passenger wheel. We drove a little way, about a hundred feet, and then I stopped and we got out, looking for what the problem could be.
Apparently, when I had purchased 2 new tires and had work done on the wheel bearings in Del Rio earlier in the day, the technician had not tightened the lugs on that wheel, and the wheel was coming off, and one of the lug bolts had broken off. The wheel was coming off and all the lugs were loose, ready to come off also.
Thankfully, Alejandro was able to jack the car up and tighten the remaining lug nuts. I drove them back to their home in Centinela and went home to Tepeyac, so grateful to God for His traveling mercies.
It could have been so much worse. I know God has His loving hand on our lives, and I know He puts people in our paths just when we need them. I am not sure how quickly I would have realized what the problem was if I were alone, but I am so grateful for God’s care and love for all of us.
I am in Del Rio at the car dealer to replace the broken bolt and do the repairs necessary. Thank the Lord for His timing in all things.
Blessings in Jesus’ name,
Toni
