teachable moment?

Two in one day? You may say I'm getting carried away... and I might agree. I'm just feeling contemplative.

Some think God is trying to teach us something in every situation. The other day, through [Lemony Snicket's] a series of unfortunate events (I couldn't help it), I ended up having to clean coolant off of my car. I lifted my windshield wipers to clean the windshield and the wipers as well. I then opened the hood to clean off any coolant in the engine compartment... forgetting that one of the wipers was still up. I cracked my windshield, cracks going from the bottom of the windshield all the way to the top.

Don't worry, though, I paid to have it fixed.

Which brings me to my point: What is God trying to teach me in this moment?

I am stupid. Seriously. I am not nearly as smart as I think I am. God has a sense of humor and was just using my windshield to remind me that He knows more than I do. Lesson learned for now. I'll forget and have to pay another $155 to replace my windshield again... or something else that I break in my stupidity.
