Repair the Dent---You're Insured

Hey everyone. It was a most productive and relaxing weekend. I had so much to do on Saturday, including a birthday party that just didn't fit in (sorry Dianne) and a wedding at Church that also didn't fit in, a funeral to plan for on Sunday and lots of going here and doing this and that, blah blah blah. It's just so hard to get all done that has to be done and still make it thru the entire weekend unscathed.

Some of you knew that Jessica crunched the door in on our car in the parking lot at school. Well, she did and I had to get that taken care of as soon as possible. I have a door bought and a body shop that is gonna pick it up and paint it and call me when it is ready to put on. It was so tempting to just live with the dent and pocket the money. But, you know, that door looks pretty bad. It just really needs to be fixed.

I was thinking about the door and the repairs that needed to be fixed and the insurance that sent the money to fix it and how I just really was tempted to not use it. Our lives are much like that door. We sometimes have a dent that is not that bad, sometimes not even noticeable to the public eye. We live with it all along knowing that it is there. That dent is repairable, but we keep putting it off and putting it off. We see it and we think, yep, there it is, I should fix that. I have God's forgiveness, I have the insurance coverage, the check was sent, I just haven't cashed in on it yet. Why not? It's free, fix the dent and get on with your life!!!
Cash in on the insurance and then every time you look in the mirror, you'll see a beautiful repaired soul. Paid for by the blood of Christ, an insurance policy that we carry with us 24/7.

After my door is fixed, I am going to be so happy and I'll know that the repairs were done with the insurance policy that I carry. No skin off my nose, no worries.

I love insurance, and I love the God that gave me my very own insurance policy.

Repair your dents and get on with life. You have an insurance policy that has a no cancel clause.

Eddie, you're so right! I've even tried to fix those dents myself and I can NEVER do as good a job as God. Thank you for the reminder!
