We have AIR CONDITIONING!!!

Well, after 4 years of marriage and 4 apartments prior to our house without decent A/C, we finally have air conditioning that works really well!!! This has been very humbling and testimony building of tithing too. We had a bid done 3-4 weeks ago and scheduled for installation but then had our 30 year old range blow up on us...not as scary as it sounds but there were sparks!! So we had to get a new range which was not in the budget so we cancelled the A/C installation and tried to go without. Brylie has had trouble sleeping lalety and we guessed it was because of the heat because when we stayed at Shay and Chelsea's for a night, she slept like a log and we did great also! So finally, after a hot weekend, we decided to get A/C and make it work in our budget. I called and scheduled for installation to be done yesterday hoping that we would be able to make everything work and come out in the black. In fact, in my worry, I almost told the guy when he got here that we changed our minds and not to go through with it. Through nothing short of a miracle, the man hooked everything up and when we asked him about the bill he told us that everything had been taken care of. That someone anonymously called and paid for our A/C to be installed without us even knowing.
The whole reason I write this is for a few reasons. First, I don't know who paid for everything aside from our guesses therefore, we can't personally say THANK YOU!! This is quite hard since I know how much it cost. Second, my confidence in the concept of the Lord taking care of us when we obey His commandments, tithing in particular, has increased 10 fold. And third, I am humbled to be on the receiving end of service which is difficult until I remember that someone has to receive in order for someone to give. And I am happy to receive so that the anonymous giver can be blessed. To think of who may have done this causes much reflection on the wonderful people we have surrounding us and how blessed we are! So thank you to whomever, you will never know how grateful we are at this tremendous blessing!
