I am so tired and so very blessed.
My water pump died yesterday evening. A very inconvenient time for it to die and I did not expect to get service right away.
I had spoken to the water guy early last month about replacing the pump but he said there was a supply order problem. They had none and they were on backorder.
I was not expecting service until maybe Monday, and I was expecting to be raked over the coals. So you could have knocked me over with feather, when I called my brother, and he told me he had already bought me a replacement pump.
He said he was in Home Depot last week and he noticed they had a pallet full of water pumps like the one that died. He said, he remembered me telling him that the water guy said their supply was on backorder, so he bought one for me.
Of course he had forgotten to tell me he had made the purchase, and of course he would not let me reimburse him for it.
He came over and installed the water pump for me. It took until 2 o'clock this morning for him to finish.
Now, you have to understand my brother. He is an engineer, and you have to know one for this to make sense.
Everything has to be precise, down to the nanometer. It took him twenty minutes to cleanse the brass spigot from the old unit. Every single bit of debris had to be removed. The darn thing was cleaner than it was before it was purchased 20 years ago.
My brother is beyond meticulous. If a washer calls for a cup of detergent for a full load of clothes, my Brother has to measure the detergent down to grams if he is just washing a couple of shirts an a few pair of pants.
Gotta love him.
Anyway. I have water thanks to my quirky, nerdy, thoughtful and loving Brother. I thank God for him, and I can't help but see God's hand at work, in all of this.
As I said. I feel very blessed at this moment.
