Let there be light...because is is DARK on this hill with no electricity. No, I did not forget to pay the light bill. This was totally out of my control.
Robbie called earlier this afternoon and said he had already left to bring Lauren's new flooring home...that's the floor they had to replace from the flood. He didn't want to get caught in another flood with it on the back of the truck, so he left to get ahead of the severe weather coming.
Good thing he did. He got home and found that a huge limb had fallen and snapped not only the power line but also the pole. So much for his early day. The next few hours were spent calling the company and having them replace everything. I got home at 7:40 and the lights did not come on until after that. So the house was dark and stuffy; no supper ready; no sewing to be done--and on the night I was set to stay up late to sew!! I was so ready...I got several orders today and already had a few to fill. Oh, well.
Things like this make me stop and remember to praise God in all things. It would be easy to sit here and whine and fuss about how my day got turned upside down, but what would that accomplish? I choose to believe that everything happens for a reason and that God is in complete control. So who am I to fuss? Better to use my time to do something here in my now-cool, well-lit house. Thread therapy will come tomorrow.
Cute quote of the day: On the way to the gym from school, Grace offered me a cookie that she had traded her rice krispy treat for. I took it and told her thank you. She said, "Every girl needs a cookie now and then. It makes the day better." Yes it does, Grace--wish I had one right now!
