How many things can break in one household in one weekend

Two cars, an air conditioner, two lawn mowers, and a bathroom floor.What a frustrating weekend! My car will start and run, it just can't be turned off without pulling the fuse to a computer chip, and disconnecting the battery. Husband's car sprung a sizable leak in a gas line. The soonest we can get a vehicle in for service is Wednesday. The lawn is still growing like crazy, and the rider won't start. Parts are here to fix the push mower, but the cars suddenly took priority. The blower motor quit on the air conditioner. It is hot and humid still, and we really need to keep the house closed as much as possible to control the ragweed pollen in the house. We live hand to mouth, so there are no small money issues.

How much frustration is one family asked to take?

As much as we are given. It's easy to say "we don't walk alone." It's another thing to let the peace that passes understanding rule over the human frustration and emotion.

I am finding it much easier to deal with, when I am not dealing with physical pain that keeps me immobilized.

I have a lot to learn about walking with God.
