Last Night

Well, last night was tough. At around 4:45 PM the electricity went off. The standard thing I do is walk around checking on all the different breakers. All was OK. I then tried to call the local electric company office which is located in the next town, but no one was answering. In the mean time I checked our small 1000 watt generator, filled it up with what little gas we had (about 2 liters), then attempted to pull that string thing. But then the pull string just broke at the end. Thank God the generator started up. With little fuel, I announced that once it is off it is off. Plus we have no more fuel! As night arrived at 6 PM we hooked up our security lights and then had some dinner and watched some TV. By 9 PM I knew that the gas was about to finish, so I got in bed pulled out my head lamp and continued to read my favorite subject on Livingstone. At this time, Timmy, my third born son, prayed a good prayer that the generator would stay on until the electricity would be ready to come on. By this time it was already a miracle that a couple of liters of gas had lasted so long. Then at 9:45pm I heard the generator fluctuate. This was the end. I could imagine the mosquitoes getting ready for my blood. See if we have electricity, the fans blow them away, plus the lights help also. Then within 30 seconds, all the lights on the property went on signalling that electricity was now on. Praise God. I talked to Timmy about this and he said it was a great encouragement for him that God answered his prayers.
So now we have no generator. The Lord is going to have to do something! Prayer is the answer.
