First it was my car: it won't start - not because there's anything wrong with the engine, but because the key simply won't turn in the ignition. I'm waiting for a new ignition unit to arrive, and it should hopefully be installed within the next week or so.
Then it was my computer. It's been giving me problems on and off since last summer, and today they told me I need to take it into the shop and they'll try completely replacing the keyboard. As I don't want a Spanish keyboard, I'm waiting for the shop to get the UK keyboard. The repair will hopefully also happen within the next week.
Of course, some broken things can't be fixed - like my broken tooth, which needs to be extracted this month. No replacement parts are in the pipeline for that one.
Realising this morning that I felt a bit fed up of putting up with all the broken stuff, I couldn't help thinking of God and how He has to deal with broken people, every moment of every day. People who don't do what they're supposed to do; people who cause problems for themselves and for others.... I am so thankful that God doesn't get tired of us. He is unfailingly patient and gentle with us in our brokenness, always seeing who we can become instead of only who we are in our weakness and dysfunction at the moment. Thank you, Father.
