Just finished installing a new hot water heater, after the old one was pouring out water. Here's our list of breakdowns, repairs or replacements this year: I replaced all four rotors and pads on the van's brakes, I replaced rear (air ride) shocks on the van, I repaired the parking brake system on the truck, we bought a new printer, a new dryer, and a new stove all to replace broken down ones, I removed and rebuilt the clutch and transmission in the washing machine, now (with help from Dad) I replaced the hot water tank. That only leaves the wheel bearings on my truck that need to be replaced and the carpenter ant damage that we found on the exterior wall of our house (I'm paying a carpenter for that one!).
Now don't take this as complaining (I actually laughed audibly when I saw the hot water tank leaking today), our kids are happy and healthy and so are we! And while we are by no means rich, we are (still) not in debt. So I'd say God is taking care of us just fine.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. Matthew 6:19-20
Actually all of Matthew 6 would be a review.
