So we started the holidays with a bit of an off note.. My wife was on her way to work and was stopped a red light. That is not an unfamiliar thing around Tampa but what followed was. A public school bus was trying to make a u-turn to her left in a location that wasn't appropriate. As my wife sat there, the rear of the bus swung toward her and broke her driver side mirror. By the way, we named her car Snowflake - we started naming the cars for fun when the kids were little and just keep up the tradition now.
Here is what it looks like now.
Here is the passenger side mirror for comparison.
Fortunately, no one was physically hurt and we hope the bus driver is able to get the points wiped so they can continue to drive a bus.
Now we are just trying to find a moment during the holidays to get it fixed.
I'm not attached to any particular car - they are just transportation to me. Even without Matthew 6:19-21 mentioning cars, buses or broken mirrors - I think the message is there. This incident was just a reminder.

Matthew 6:19-21 English Standard Version (ESV)
Lay Up Treasures in Heaven
19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust[a] destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
