Thankful Thursday

I’m thankful for a full tank of oil and a furnace that works. I’m thinking of this today because my daughter and her family continue to have difficulty with their propane furnace. It quits working every month or so and no one seems to be able pinpoint the problem. The company who installed the furnace says it’s a propane supply problem and the propane supplier says there’s a problem with the furnace. I’m sorry that they have to go through this ordeal, but I’m thankful that my trusty furnace gives them a warm place to go when their own house is cold.

I’m thankful that my schedule has slowed down now. The parties, concerts, etc., are over (I’m thankful for them, too, but happy for a break.) and all that’s left is our family Christmas celebration. I’m thankful that my gift shopping is done, too, so I can stay out of the stores, except for the grocery store. 

I’m thankful for lights: candles, lights on the tree, outdoor lights, just my ordinary household lighting. I can’t imagine living where I do without lights to curse the midwinter darkness. I’m also thankful for the Light who shines in the darkness.

Oh, I hope they can get their furnace issues resolved for good. It's been so cold there!

It worked all last night and then stopped working again this morning. The furnace company is going to come look at it . . . again. I'm praying they solve the problem today. Enough is enough.
