Baby, It's Cold INSIDE

The Good News Today Is...life is full of surprises. Like when I woke up yesterday morning and the house was only 52 degrees because the furnace had stopped. It was a little chilly and I wasn't sure what to do. The husband is away visiting family for two weeks, one future son-in-law was away on business for the week, and the other one had already left for work. Of course my son in Florida is way too far away to help! Well, I called the one future son-in-law that had already left for work and found he was on the road to a job site. He suggested that I burn wood during the day and he would look at the furnace in the evening when he got out of work. Great idea, except I had just run out of wood the day before! Hmm...I thought, I really might have to call the furnace repair man - not sure that I could afford that. As I was trying to figure out what to do, I got a call back - Pat had decided to turn around, take the day off from work and head to my house so that he could work on my furnace. Now there was a SURPRISE!!!! You could have knocked me over with a feather. Just when you think you have someone figured out, they do something so opposite of what you expect, you can't believe it. He arrived at my house shortly and had my furnace running within a couple of hours -and I went to work. That was just the nicest thing anyone has done for me in a long time. It is so comforting to know that there are people in your life that care enough to help in that way. "God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them." Heb 6:10. When we help others we are showing them the love of God and how it is manifested in our lives - surprise someone today - you will be blessed by it!
