A Miracle we received

Well the story goes like this. We have an used, older van and car. The van David drove and the beat-up car I drove. They were good for their purpose and took us where we needed to go. The van started giving David a lot of problems and finally he couldn't drive it anymore and so their went my car, as David needed to use it to go to work. We knew the car would not last long also. We decided it was time to start looking for a new car for ME, as David would use the old car and fix the van, then sell the old car. We have been looking and nothing was looking good. Finally two weeks ago I saw a car on a web page. I told David about it as I felt it was our car. He told me that car (Ford Cobalt) was way too small for us. Last Saturday he came home and I told him I still wanted to look at that car as I felt really good about it. We went to the dealership and saw the car. I noticed the car was a lot smaller than I thought. There would be no way we could survive in that car. A salesman (we call them Vultures, no offence to those anyone who is a salesman) came up and started talking to David. He showed us two other cars. I looked at them and thought they look promising. I asked if I could test drive them. I figured might as well have fun since I was here. We test drove the first one...Malibu Maxx. As soon as we got in the car, the KIDS fell in love with it. We then test drove the other one and straight away the kids hated it. Now let me tell you why. No perks in the last one, where as the first one had lots of perks. I also liked the first as (Sara get this) it had a "butt" warmer!! We then talked with the salesman and an hour or so later we were driving out of the parking lot with a new car (OK used, yet new to us). We knew this car was ours. We were shocked, as we did not even think we would be buying a car that day. It was a wonderful miracle. Our Heavenly Father gave us such a wonderful blessing.
