The things we take for granted.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The baking was done, the kitchen cleaned, and my siblings would be joining me in an hour or so for a Thanksgiving dinner together. Relaxed, I sat sipping on coffee and flipping through the Black Friday flyers. That’s when I noticed the water pump was running continuously. And it shouldn’t have been.<\/p>\n

A quick run through the house confirmed that there wasn’t a faucet left on, and that the pump really should not be running. Not a good sign. Checking a few faucets showed low water pressure that soon petered out to a drizzle and then to nothing. Definitely not a good sign.<\/p>\n

It was Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

And I was without water.<\/p>\n

And it would soon become apparent that a new water system was the best course of action.<\/p>\n

From my back door to my sister’s.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There was still much for which to be thankful.<\/p>\n

I was thankful that my sister was more than willing to move the Thanksgiving meal to her house.<\/p>\n

I was thankful that it was only a hop, skip and a jump across the backyard to my sister’s place to fill water buckets! Though, admittedly, more water made it to the house when I refrained from hopping, skipping and jumping! Plus, she has a very nice extra shower.<\/p>\n

I was more than thankful when, just shy of two weeks later, I had a new well, pump and pressure tank. Once again there is water properly functioning in the house!<\/p>\n

And right now? I’m thankful that all this happened before my parents showed up for Christmas!<\/p>\n

But there’s another thing I’m thankful. That’s for friends like you! Thank you for your friendship. Thank you for praying!<\/p>\n

And now, the well is … well!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
