But you will NOT hear me complain. Here in Oklahoma, our weather seems to be a bit on the Bi-polar side of life. I seriously think at times, it needs some medication. Don't quite know what that would be, but it's truly been a wild weather year for us so far. Currently we are experiencing some 92 degree weather with a heat index of 103. Now...I know that isn't extreme temps for some folks out there. But when you throw in that crazy humidity that we Okies seem to get, it's pretty sticky, miserable.
I live in a two story, brick home. Built in 1937, this home doesn't offer much on efficiency. Meaning, there are a lot of drafts, and insulation issues. It also has a pretty old a/c unit that we haven't run for the last 3 yrs now. We have window units in 4 rooms of the house. It keeps us cool enough, but probably not as efficient as should be. Times are tough and right now, that's what we do. God will provide in time for a new unit.
I think to myself about the heat and just how bearable is it? I mean...true, it's hot and I am thankful that I don't work out in it nor does my husband or children, unless you count my son-in-love being a police officer and having to wear a hot uniform in this mess...however...when you think about future and eternity and what the Bible talks of where will you go when you die...I think this is pretty darn cool, comparatively speaking.
I'm thankful that I know my future. I'm thankful that I know the answer to the question, "when I die, where will I go?" My future is secure in an eternal home with my Savior, Jesus Christ. The alternative would be a place where, if I couldn't bare the heat now.....well, don't even want to think about it.
When you die, where will you go? How's your weather forecast shaping up?
Thanks for reading,
