Rotten Days Can Change

Yesterday wasn't such a great day. My dh went to change the oil on the new used car his mom had given us, and it was a disaster. He drained the transmission fluid instead. Then we got into a yucky argument where it was all my fault that this happened. I of course took offense and said some not nice things. It was bad. I left the scene of the crime and started to pray like crazy. I knew we needed a miracle to heal this rift. The Lord showed me that I was in the wrong.

You see, my husband had asked me to take the vehicle in to get the oil change. At the time I couldn't afford to do that and he has always changed the oil on our cars himself, so I didn't submit and try to squeeze out the money. Well, he later asked me to go ahead and buy the oil, so I did. What I didn't know is that he had no idea of how to do it on this car. This is the first time he has ever had a sport utility vehicle, and it is a little different. Well, he didn't feel like he could do it. He didn't ever tell me this, but I never took the time to find out why all of a sudden he wanted me to take it somewhere when for our entire marriage, he has done it. So I had to apologize for not obeying. We did mend our rift and must have looked like newlyweds to the neighbors as we were hugging and kissing in the front yard, lol!

Anyway, things are good now, the car has fresh oil AND fresh transmission fluid and it sounds better. We just need to make sure that we have the transmission fluid at the proper level and we are good to go. So in the future, I need to listen. Not just to my husbands word's, but to his heart.
