Lockdown 594

Lockdown Day 594 - 10 November 2021

So the loadshedding continues. And this morning they added 5 minutes to the schedule by switching off the power just as I was heating up my first cup of tea.

So I lost it a little, then decided this is the last of it. They can mess with my dinner but NOT with my hot drinks. As if planned, one of my core friends posted a pic of a miniature gas burner for small heating jobs. So the hunt started for the right burner and accessories so I can at least boil water for any kind of hot cuppa.

After trying two retailers and coming up empty handed it became apparent the whole PE had the same idea, especially after a couple of power outtages additional to the loadshedding. Eventually I found what literally seemed to be the last mini burner on the block.

Being without power is one thing. Being powerless is an entirely different thing. We can have all the resources but still be powerless if we aren't tapped into the limitless Power of Heaven.

I was reminded of that today when I lost it a little. Making a plan is using resources, but we should not feel powerless as children of God.

So tonight I thank God for always being "switched on"!
