Not a perfect family

I'm writing this post not to be negative, but to demonstrate no one has a perfect life!
Wednesday I had decided enough! We've been couped up long enough, the washer flooded the floor, only 2 burners consistently work on our 6 burner cook top, the dryer is squealing, we need to get away! It was the last day for Silver Dollar City to be opened and my parents had purchased us season passes. That's it.... we'll use them! We begin our journey, we make a quick stop at the home of a friend, or oldest decides- "I'm 18, I'm not going". He gets out of the van and begins to walk! We gathered him and told him he could stay at Nana & Papa's while the rest of the family enjoys some family fun. This broke my heart, I prefer my family to stay together and have fun together. We could not allow his actions to destroy the fun for the rest of the family. We begin again, the van would barely go, I'm talking 30 miles per hour. We get it to the mechanic in Bartlesville and decide to go to lunch. We're sitting in the restaurant, I'm fighting back tears, and a gentleman whispers something to Jacky and places something on the table. The man wanted to pay for the lunch of our children. I look out the window, as I could fight the tears no longer. A God reminder- He is in control and whatever happens, happens for a reason. We return to the mechanic and it was not a major repair. We decided it was too late to travel to Branson, so we headed to Tulsa, got a hotel where the kids could swim indoor, enjoy pizza and video games. The next morning they swam more, had an amazing breakfast, went ice skating and a late lunch at Ted's before heading home.
Just a reminder: whether it be a rebellious teen (that has always been one amazing, compassionate, wonderful guy), several things falling apart at the same time or a big change of plans - God is in control! He can fix all the problems, in time!

You see... there are no perfect people, therefore we have imperfect lives.
