Show-OW-er




Did you thank God when you showered with hot water today? Me neither. Mostly because we didn't have hot water!

Mike came home from the men's breakfast at church yesterday to find water trickling out of the water heater closet. It took a four hour wait and a 30 second look by the service man to determine, yep, we need a new water heater. Once Mike realized the service man was trying to sell him way more than we needed, he politely paid him his highway robbery fee and sent him on his way…. Which meant waiting 24 hours until another company could install a new water heater!

So, my morning shower was altered to hair washing under the shower faucet and then general cleansing plus leg shaving over the bathroom sink with COLD water. Yikes! :) It was one day, no big deal. Lindsay (in Haiti) does that daily. But I know it was another way of God reminding us of how very blessed we are, even with the little things in our lives!

Enjoy your warm shower in the morning, and give God a little shout out while you're at it.

p.s. The picture was way too appropriate and looks scarily like Mike! (I found it online, though)
