It's been really hot for the past few weeks, with nary a drop of rain. The temperature has been registering 38 degrees Celsius and there's no respite even when the sun went down. As a result, I've been uttering a silent prayer throughout the past 2 weeks, that God would bring rain.
Little did I know the reason for the dry weather. Our roof was in shambles and we didn't even know it. Our neighbour whose house sits on higher ground saw the terrible condition of our roof and alerted my husband. He even invited my husband to view the damage from his upstairs bedroom. Prior to this, we have never spoken to each other before and on that day, we got to know him as Mok.
My husband was aghast at the condition of our roof, being Mr Cool , I was surprised that he started to look for a roof specialist straightaway. Remembering Handyman Charles who used to work in our church, I decided to call him as he came highly recommended as he even managed to solve the notorious leaks in our High Court Building.
Charles came yesterday, climbed up, took a look and said the damage was extensive. As the adhesive that was supposed to hold the tiles in place have cracked, the tiles have dislocated and there was a gaping hole in our roof! There were other damages of course and Charles and his assistant, set to work. Within 2 hours and a half hours, he announced that the problem is solved and our roof is now good as new.
That very night, it rained.
The next day, which is today, it poured.
I truly thank God for His love and care for me and my family. All this made us wonder, if we had fixed our roof earlier, maybe we would not have had to endure the scorching past weeks.....
