the cold

Last night when Sweet Anna and I both got home and realized that the house was cold. Our heating system had failed… I thought of my friends in Europe and the ongoing saga between Russia and Ukraine over the gas piplines and the thousands of people who had no heat. By morning the inside of the house was 57 f (about 5 c?). Our bedroom and downstairs sitting room were warm because of two electric space heaters that we keep on hand for such emergencies. Tonight the temp outside will be -7c so I called the repair man… wow, we are getting a new heating system! (and our wallet will be a lot lighter) But I am thankful that the heat is available (tomorrow night it will be -12 c)… I am glad to know that our hose will be warm again soon…. I pray for the people who are worried because they have no such assurance of a warm house… May the governments stop feuding and care for the people…
