Power Out
Aug/25/11
My power is out for the third day. Being on well and septic means no water either. This has proved to be a God moment, a time for my Creator to refocus from my normal tendency to be annoyed, to His direction to give thanks in all things and at all times.
Just days before I walked through the Mathare Valley where one half million people live without bathrooms, electricity (if available to costly) water available in their homes, and any means to control the temperature where they live. Interviewing widows in their homes there, I discovered many had lived with those circumstances for decades. They have little hope of change--apart from a dramatic outside intervention.
My response? Kneel and thank God for his faithful reminder this is a good day--without power.
