Three days ago I posted gratitude for making a discovery that indicated the probability of a mouse–and in fact, that was the case.🙏🏽 Ever since that day, my husband’s been attentive to my phobia of anything-rodent,🙏🏽 and I appreciate that very much.
On the day of discovery, evidence of what looked to be tiny pieces of the insulation around the water heater cascaded onto the floor of the bedroom when the slide was brought in, and a mound of it was found inside the cabinet (cubby) that housed the water heater. Cleaning it up was not a simple matter. My husband had to retrieve the shop vac that’s stored in our cargo trailer on the other side of the resort, then come back and vacuum the residue before baiting the mouse trap with a lavish dollop of peanut butter.🙏🏽 All of which I appreciate; rodents scare me and I want nothing to do with them.
Yesterday morning I checked the cubby, and what I found was almost worse: not only was there more insulation scattered about, most of it covered the mouse trap! Whatever it was was making a mockery of the situation. My husband took one look at it, mumbled something about having to get the shop vac again, and closed the door. I’m grateful he takes me seriously.🙏🏽
Unbeknownst to him, he checked the cubby less than an hour later and, lo and behold, there was the mouse!🙏🏽 Both of us marveled at the fact that he re-checked the cubby so soon.🙏🏽That’s not like him at all, but…🙏🏽 I am very grateful that the situation was remedied so quickly!🙏🏽
I will give you thanks, for you answered me; you have become my salvation. ~Psalm 118:21
