Just a little tribute to our 2 days without electricity this past weekend...9pm Saturday night to 9pm Monday night.
Lesson 1: Toilets can be flushed without electricity. Buckets of pond water work just as well as anything. It is a skill which will not soon be forgotten and may be helpful in the coming year.
Lesson 2: Games with family are just as fun by candlelight.
Lesson 3: Hot water is a true gift from God! My dish washing habits have been greatly changed for the better. I will do dishes as soon as I can from this day forth for you just never know when you will next have the chance. (I think there may be more lessons in this lesson!)
Lesson 4: When there is nothing else to do...nap time is very pleasant (due to lack of whining about wanting to do other things).
Lesson 5: Family is priceless. Thanks Dad & Liz, Ang & Bryan & Lauren, for your graciousness with no showers and breakfast-less farewells on Sunday morning. Thanks to Mom & Dad VB for a generator & feeding us Sunday noon (as always) and the precious Pates for a Monday afternoon of dishes, showers, and dining. We always thank God for each of our family members but we were truly blessed by you this past weekend.
P.S. Ask Maya about her prayers when the electricity was out on Monday night. Go God!
