Thank You, Lord

Uncategorized

And Thank you Robin, and Dad, and all of my other loved ones who I know are in heaven watching over. I almost burned down my mother’s house yesterday. It turns out that you shouldn’t use the self cleaning feature on an oven if there has been a grease spill. I didn’t know that. I turned on the self cleaning feature, and had planned on forgetting about it for the next several hours. For reasons I do not know and cannot explain, I glanced at the oven after about ten minutes: through the glass door, I could see a fire occurring. I immediately turned off the self clean feature, and my mother and I freaked for a minute or two until the fire went out.

Once the fire was out, I was overcome with the feeling that Robin was watching over us, and that he was a big part of the reason we had averted disaster. Thank You, Lord.

  2. Amen, JaC! Had a similar experience with my stove’s gas line recently: So grateful for siblings whose visits are well-timed, and whose skills can remedy problems calmly and quickly. (And for loved ones on heavenly guard duty.)

  3. Whew! So glad you didn’t go out! I understand how you feel: I thank God a thousand times a day, like , if I narrowly miss getting hit in the face with a branch when I’m riding, when any task goes better than I thought it would…I can’t do without gratitude.

  4. I shouldn’t laugh but this story reminds me of something I have and probably will do again. 🙂

    My cleaning lady chastised me and told me to wait for her days. I agree! Whew …
