Hug your fridge

So, we went on a nice trip to Phoenix. We get back and find our fridge died. Actually, we were given a head's up the night prior, but by then, it was too late.
Nothing was salvagable. Ok, two things. Soy sauce (it says refrigerate, but is it really necessary considering they leave them out on tables in restaurants?), and Kimbro's favorite seasoning, Tapatio.
Admitedly, there were things in there that we hadn't used in a while, though every week when I clean out the refrigerator, I couldn't bring myself to throw away. Now our fridge is bare. Empty. Sad.
We lived out of an ice chest until yesterday, when the repairman brought our fridge back to life.
It made me think how much we take for granted. How often are we thankful for luxuries like refrigerators? It's hard to appreciate until yours dies.
I love you, fridge!

LOL, it is so true! I'm so glad you have it fixed friend! Those thoughts come to my mind many a time, as well. How easy it is to walk to the faucet and turn it on for cold water, or hot water, and shut it off again until next time. Air conditioners, heaters, lamps, beds.... we turn them off, turn them on, and jump into them and think nothing of it! How truly blessed we are. How thankful we should be each day for our Lord's blessings. In His Word we are told to be content with such as we have for He will never leave us or forsake us. And elsewhere, to be content merely if we have food and covering! How much we have to be thankful for. Love you! R
