"Find Out Who You're Friends Are"

My awesome Mama and Daddy!
Monday afternoon I was SO EXCITED because I was going to get to go with Daddy and take the calves to freezer locker and a loggin' meetin'! I love sending any amount of time with my Daddy that I can! Well, Daddy got off early so we wouldn't be in such a hurry on the way to the freezer locker (A BLESSING)! Well, we got the calves loaded up in the trailer, told Mama bye and we started down the road taking our time. Well, the freezer locker is about 45 min. away from or house and we were about half way there. Daddy was on his cell phone and then he looked in his mirror and said,
"AH shoot, I got a flat tire!"

I thought that was what it was because I could here it but I wasn't going to say anything.

Well Daddy knew two people that lived close to where we were and one of them a loggin' friend of his. When we turned into Mr David's driveway, he had just gotten home from work and was walking to the house. He was hot, tired and dirty but when Daddy told him what was wrong, he never even hesitated to help him.

They looked around for while and finally found one they thought would work, so they took off the tire, and put on that one. Well, it was to big, so that to take it off and find another one. So put that one on and it did work!

A lot more went into putting that tire then you may think because it wasn't just the right size but Mr David never said anything. Me and Daddy thanked Mr David but had to run and just barely made it to the freezer locker.

Our God is SO AWESOME! He allowed us to have enough time, be at the right place so that we could get repaired!

Thank you Lord,
For taking care of me and Daddy all the time!


There aren't a lot of people left in the world that would done what Mr. David did for me and Daddy after a long, hard days work!

This song is called "Find Out Who You're Friends Are" and I know that Daddy has a true friend in Mr. David!

Run your car off the side of the road
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
Get yourself in a bind lose the shirt off your back
Need a floor need a couch need a bus fare

This is where the rubber meets the road
This is where the cream is gonna rise
This is what you really didn't know
This is where the truth don't lie

{Chorus}
You find out who you're friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas get their fast
Never stop to think 'what's in it for me' or 'it's way too far'
They just show on up with their big old heart
You find out who you're friends are

Everybody wants to slap your back
wants to shake your hand
when you're up on top of that mountain
But let one of those rocks give way then you slide back down look up
and see who's around then

This ain't where the road comes to an end
This ain't where the bandwagon stops
This is just one of those times when
Alot of folks jump off

{Chorus}

When the water's high
When the weather's not so fair
When the well runs dry
Who's gonna be there

How refreshing to see a young person share how God was in this situation that caused a problem. I am grateful that you recognized the blessings in having a flat tire. Many adults could learn a lesson from your sweet attitude.

Your momma and daddy have done a marvelous job of training you up to be a godly young woman.

Love,
Mrs. Debbie
