A Wonderful Car

2003 Park Avenue

Have you ever tried selling a car on your own? Well, I'm in the middle of that process and some days life does not move too fast. There is nothing wrong with the old car, it's just that it does not fit the bill for many in need of another car.  And of course, they really would like it for little or nothing.  I could have gotten that amount on a trade in. 

I sometimes can get into my fear with scarey thoughts.  Thinking I will never be able to sell it.  Then words of encouragement come from folks who stop, simply to talk about the car, appreciating the make, model and to share how their car, just like it, gave them such pleasure!  What a delight. 

Today, a great friend helped me put it on Craigslist, showed me how to add pictures and to update it.  I had fears I shared with her but after this time together all my scarey thoughts are gone; confidence is back once again. 

Life can be like this on a bigger front, too. I believe friends are in our lives in order to "be there" for us...and for us to "be there" for them. When it may be easy for some folks, it may be major for others.  We each have gifts we can share with one another, not even realizing how that gift edified the other.  What gift of friendship do each of us have to offer?  Gift of our talent, our time, our financial support...it can be endless. 

So, now that my car is on Craigslist, I pray to be confident someone would like a wonderful car that has been like a good friend in the family...someone to love it and cherish it like I have!
