Today, is a day that I am grateful for the knowledge that I have. Both of our vehicles needed brake pads changed and the oil and filter job done as well. I have done both of these things many times. I'm not a mechanic, by any means, but I figure that I help put together a commercial airliner so I should easily be able to do some of the simple things with a car. The kids helped me jack the cars up and remove the lug nuts from each of the wheels. It was nice to have them close by (and helping, of course.)
I enjoy knowledge and the satisfying feeling it gives to me. Even though, I know very little, I feel grateful for the healthy mind I have been blessed with.
Our youngest son, Danny, asked me while we were working, if I really did know what I was doing. I had to work hard not to start laughing right out loud. I told him that I did, in fact, know what I was doing. His next question followed. "Where did you learn to do this, dad?" I told him that I learned how to do these things from Uncle Spencer. (That is my brother-in-law) "I'll bet you're glad he taught you, huh dad?" I am very grateful that he taught me such knowledge.
These small pieces of knowledge stimulate my mind. It's never too late to learn. I love it!
