Nov. 22, 2006 - Hot water and teachable moments

After three visits in three days from the hot water heater guy (I wonder if he would appreciate that title?), we now have a new hot water heater in our garage and $1,000 less in our pockets. Ouch! These things seem to happen at the most inopportune times. Come to think of it, I doubt there is ever a good time to drop $1,000.

Dh is home today and took the opportunity to teach the kids a bit about the Lord's faithfulness. The boys asked Dad how much the new heater cost. Dh was able to talk to the kids about the Lord's incredible faithfulness. He always provides and takes care of us. This led to a discussion about how thankful we are for hot water and what life would be like without that simple luxury. I just love those teachable moments...almost as much as hot water.

What a relief that you have made it through this trial. I can't believe you actually boiled your own laundry water! Wow, what a woman. Now, you all can take beautiful showers and all the other things we do in this country without even thinking. Yes, this century is good. Although, our ancestors never knew any different,so boiling water was good for them. I hope you and your cute family have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day today. Thanks for sharing your story.
