Where's the Water?

So I wake up this morning ready to do my normal routine only to find out that there is no water in my house.  NO WATER!!  Anywhere!  It's been extremely cold here in IA.  Like in the negatives.  Evidently our pipes froze.  The side garage door being open all night long might have contributed to our pipes freezing.   Being the good sport I am I grabbed the ice cubes from the ice maker and put them on a pan to warm up on the stove.  I'm sure you can guess what happened next!  I wasn't about to go to work without feeling somewhat clean.  Kevin had today off so he called a friend to find out what to do.  Slowly he started warming up the garage and pipes only to find out there was a crack in the pipe.  Call to Water Works and they came out and fixed it for FREE!!  PTL!!  I can't imagine how much that would have cost!   By the time I got home from work we had water once again.    Makes me think of all those people in other countries who live day to day without fresh, clean water.    They make it work with what they have.  Could I really live without water for days on end?  If I had to I suppose I could but I'm sure I would be grumbling and complaining.  Water is a precious commodity and we really find out that it is when it's gone.  Thanks Lord for providing the water but also for blessing us on having it fixed.  We are grateful!
