God is sooooo good! Normally, on this February Friday morning, I would have been up and on the way to Memphis for a Historical Foundation Board meeting by 6:00 AM. A couple of weeks ago, events caused this meeting to be canceled. This morning, I got up about 6:15, went outside to take a couple of beautiful pictures of the sky, then sat down to check messages.
Everything seemed normal. A little over an hour later, I started noticing a smell that seem to be something getting hot. Smoke alarm wasn’t going off and I didn’t notice a smoky look, but that smell - unmistakenly electrical - was getting worse. I finally traced it down to the central heat and air return air vent. Checked the thermostat, heat indicator on and running, but fan didn’t seem to be coming on. Turned off thermostat, still heard sound of fan trying to come one. Flipped circuit breaker and started making calls.
Was relieved by the sight of a wonderful man arriving less than hour later. He checked unit outside and found the bearings had burned out. He is now on the way to find me another motor and I should have heat again before night.
Thankfully, we are having warmer temperatures today (even though they are not up to average) than the last few weeks and next week is being forecast to again be below average. If it were one of those days we didn't get out of the teens, I would be having to find a place to go for the next few hours.
All those things show how God works, but the most important part for me is that if I had gone to Memphis, I probably would not have had a house standing when I returned.
Now, don’t you agree, God is good all the time???
