blessings!!

So after my trip to vermont at thanksgiving time we realized that the tires on my car have pretty much lived their life to their fullest, and are not able to do their job anymore.....this was a very sad realizatrion because my tires are not cheap....the low end low quality sort of affordable tires for my car were $103 a piece which not include mounting and balancing...rough estimate is that it was going to cost us close to $500 for crap tires for my car.....so we were waiting, thankful that we live in delaware this year and hoping that maybe we can get another 6 months out of them.......(not smart, but really dont have any other options right now)
So Thursday night we talked about it again and Josh and I prayed about it...still trying to figure out we were gonna come up with $500.........
Friday morning I was looking on craigslist as a last shot chance to see if there were any....none.  So, I decided to post an item wanted ad....within 10 minutes someone responded that he had 4 tires that were in decent shape...not brand new (totally ok! )  but he didnt tell me how much...anyway, after a few texts and emails h said he would sell them for $85.....for all four tires!!!  then I didnt hear back from him.....yesterday not a word, so we figured that it was either a scam or he changed his mind.
This afternoon, I was kind of annoyed that someone would do that and just disappear so to speak, so I texted him asking him if he changed his mind, or what was up....he responded "sorry I was busy yesterday"   so I asked hm if he could meet josh at work since he is here til 5 today, he said sure.....again didnt think he would show, but about an hour ago josh called and asked me to meet him at work with the checkbook because the guy came, the tires were in good shape, and he was willing to take a check......for 85.00!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am normally not excited about tires or really anything having to do with a car, but these tires were divinely sent to us, and I cant wait to have them on my car!
