Blessing in Disguise...


I was so blessed when I first came into New Zealand to be given a car on loan for my time here. The Mazda 121 had a lot of character, has been a chariot for many a friend and young person and soon developed the name “The Silver Bullet”. I was even more blessed when the owners of the car decided I’d had it so long, I may as well own it! Praise God! One day, while minding my own business, sat at the traffic lights, another car ploughs into the back of ‘the bullet’ leaving wrinkles all over its body. Thankfully both drivers were OK, but my old friend had more wrinkles than even Nivea could fix – so he was sent to car Heaven. Sad as it may sound, the lovely insurance people then gave me a cheque for much more than I could have sold the bullet for. Then with the help of a family friend, we were able to purchase this sporty looking (economical) Toyota for only slightly more than the insurance payout! A story of blessing, blessing, crash, blessing, blessing!!
