I am so smart, S-M-R-T

I received a tender mercy today for which I am very very grateful. When I got out of work (#31) my car started. I realize this is what's supposed to happen when you put the key in the ignition and turn, but today I was so lucky it actually did. When I got to my car I realized that genius me somehow managed to leave the head lights on. Who knows how this happened, it was the middle of the day so there was no need for them. Well the car sputtered a bit but it would not start. I began to contemplate my options and congratulate myself on what a smart girl I was. Eventually I said a little prayer, offered an "I promise I won't be a big idiot and leave the lights on again" speech, and tried again. Apparently there was a little life left in the battery because I was able to start the car. Now a dead battery would not be the worst thing in the world. I am sure I would have found someone to help me. But I am so thankful for that tender mercy, it saved me a lot of frustration. It also taught me a lesson: make sure the lights are off!
