Check Your Gas Gauge

by Joanne Wiklund
 
Many yards look so good. Lawn owners remember how to mow their own pattern. I read somewhere that while you complete a new task,  your brain makes a map. When you need to repeat that task, you can just relax and follow the map. Let your mind lead you on.
 
When getting ready to mow, one must remember to check the gas gauge. And use your brain. I went out to mow. I checked the gauge as I mowed and it wasn’t moving at all. The rider fluttered to a stop before I moved out back. I looked down and discovered I’d been checking the temperature gauge instead of the gas gauge, where the arrow was buried deep in red instead of green. Obviously, I wasn’t focused on the job at hand.
 
Problem: No gas. A couple of phone calls and my nephew came to my rescue with a gallon and a half. He rides a motorcycle, small gas can. He shared. I mowed. Starting again today with a full tank from my Number One son and my Number One Grandson, delivery, who keep my tank full if I tell them when I need it. 
 
I told him the mower gas tank was full and I would mow as soon as I filled MY gas tank. I do tend to wander off when I personally run out of gas. Have to try so hard sometimes to keep that tank full. So good to have prayer and people handy who love me.  
 
Luke 12:8 “Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the son of man also confess before the angels of God:”
 
Psalm 86:11 “Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will  walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. 12. “I will praise thee, O Lord, my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify thy name for evermore.”
