My Air Conditioner Went “0ut” Today

I know this sounds weird, but I am grateful in a way that the AC went out today. The thing is, it happened when I was at home. Suppose I had been out of the house, and its failure had caused some sort of damage to the home and my kitty - I am grateful that the Lord gave me a heads’ up on this. Hoping to get it fixed this week.

We expect to hit 100 for several days this week. I won’t even put it on for the heat the next few nights until I find out what’s wrong - the heat and the a/c are all one unit in this model.

I have a dear neighbor and friend who will check it out for me. He has great background in this area. Still, there is the cost for parts, probably.

I am also grateful that this happened now, months after my nephew died. If it had happened when he was still with me, it would have been hard because he was always a “cup half empty” person. I would have had to keep up both my spirits and his.

I am additionally grateful that the weather is reasonably mild except for those 100’s due this week - at night, it will be 60’s which is tolerable. I think I will end up with the cat on my belly during the night if she gets too chilly.

And, as Columbo would say, just one more thing - I am grateful that this is mid-May, not mid-July when all the AC contractors, and probably even my friend, are swamped with repair calls.

So, I am patiently waiting to see how this new wrinkle in my life plays out. Not my will but the Lord’s, be done.

 
Father, I know you have my back and are working on this for me. Help me keep the kitty at a decent comfort level while you do that. And thank you for the incredibly good timing. The expenses for the repairs? Well, I know you will work that out, too. I have reached the point, finally, where I am tired of worrying and will do what I need to do and let you do the rest. I know, I know - you’ve been waiting a long time for me to get to that point - almost 75 years, in fact...
