Winter Ice Storm
We have been hit by ice! Sunday afternoon the ice started coming down...sleet, freezing rain. My husband always tells me what the difference is, but I usually just nod. What I do know is that when it came down, it was ice and everything started freezing over FAST! We lost our power late that night, and by mid-afternoon my husband decided to get us a motel room. We do not have a generator, so I knew we would not last long. Fortunately, my husband's job allows him to earn motel points because he travels a lot. So...here we sit...in a motel room...and, yes, cabin fever has now set in. Don't get me wrong. We are extremely thankful for the way God has provided for us - heat, electricity, breakfast served every morning! We are ready to get back to our home and our routine. Estimated time of power being restored? Friday at 11 p.m. I am praying for sooner than that...but the Lord knows. My kids laugh at me because I have met some wonderful people through all of this. You see, my husband has been described as "never met someone he could not talk to." They say he is rubbing off on me! Motel employees, other people in our situation..it has been wonderful to hear their stories. I hope I have been as much as an encouragement to them as they have been to me. Tonight's weather told me we have snow on the way. At least it is not ice!
