Outage

When I was just going to prepare for dinner, the power went out.
Since the elevators stopped,
some of the residents of the apartment were going up and down the stairs.
People were gathering up at the entrance of the apartment;
one of them said that the power was out in our town.

Yes, it was pitch dark in the whole town with no street lights on but traffic lights.

To get ready for dinner, I put some battery- operated candles
around the cutting board to light up
and looked for food in the refrigerator using a flashlight.

It was fun but it was inconvenient.

I thought we wouldn't know where things were and where to move in the pitch darkness without light.

As the Bible says the word of God is a lamp of my feet,
I realized one more time that I really needed to rely on the word of God.

We are in the generation when what is normal becomes abnormal all of a sudden.
This outage incident caused me to think
that I needed to make a preparation for the future
and that I needed to do that by prayer first.

The outage lasted only one hour and half.
I was grateful that we didn't have to spend cold night that day.
Thank God !
