Seeing in The Dark

Picture in your minds eye - the "pay at the pump" gas station. You put your credit charge in and prepay for your gasoline.

Now picture that the electric in your home here is just like that "pay at the pump" credit card machine.

That is where our story begins:

We have been running since we arrived, and no one remembered that now that the air conditioner is on that the house would be using more electricity....and around 6 p.m. last night we realized that the "power low" light was flashing BRIGHT RED on the electric meter! And oops....we did not recharge the prepaid card to insert into the electric meter to pay for the electric. So we went into electric conservation mode.

We turned off the air, t.v. and most of the lights - it gave me an excuse to make the children go to bed at a reasonable time.

We estimated that the electric should go off by 1:30 a.m. - I began to pray that we would not lose any power....at 8:30 a.m. we were able to recharge the card at the local service center....we never lost power - it was like the oil that Elisha gave to the widow - it just stretched and stretched.

Favor, Favor all around.
