It has been 6 days now since the heat stopped in my house. It was last Friday, and I wasn’t going to call a heating contractor on the weekend. The rates would be robbery. I am a single parent on a limited income. By Monday, we had gotten used to living in 16 degrees on sunny days, and 14 by night. I heated the bedroom, where we “camped”. So I proceeded to “ask around” for – well for somebody who knows somebody who can light my pilot light! I called Terry who thought Darren could help. Darren said only a licenced gas fitter should do this and referred me to Kevin. Turns out Kevin is not available. Next day I try Joh. He says to call Darren or Kevin. Ahhhh. Done that. Didn’t work. He was perlexed, and worried. He called three times in the last two days asking if anyone had come. In the mean time, I was asking God to help us out. Should I just bite the bullet and spend the $150 on the repair? How will I get food and other needs met then, Oh Lord? I waited. Joh called again. It was going to get cold this Easter Weekend. may as much as 10 or 15 degrees below zero. Brrr. Still no heat? No. Tonight – day 6 – I prayed with my dear friend, Sue, and trusted God for the needed help. Then Joh called – and oh my goodness! Here is my update for Sue.

Ah Lord God, Thou hast made the heavens and the Earth by Thy great power, and by Thy right hand!
Nothing is too difficult for Thee! Oh, Great and Mighty God, great in power and mighty in deed,
Nothing, absolutely nothing, is too difficult for Thee!!
Hallelujah – the furnace is running!!
The sensors were dirty and told the gas that there was no flame. So the gas had shut off! Luis cleaned the sensors, and got the furnace going. He found a worn belt and showed Joh how he can replace it once I get the part for cheap at Canadian Tire.
Sue, I am so blessed. God is taking care of me. Here’s what happened. Joh knew we were without heat. He tried to contact Darren and Kevin to no avail. Tonight at church, a guy came up to him from across the sanctuary and said he felt he needed to know what Joh does for a living. Joh says – renovations. Luis says – electrical? Joh says – no. Luis says – gas? Joh says – no. Luis says, – gee thats what I do. I am a gas fitter…. Joh lit up like a rocketship and said – hey – I know why you came to tell me that!! I have this friend…..
Ah Lord God, nothing is too difficult for Thee!!
Thank you Jesus!
