Another Supernatural & Funny Miracle from the Lord

 

Back in September of 2017, the freezer portion of our refrigerator started acting up. It wasn't freezing all the food. I didn't think it was that old, but we bought it in 1999.  We called our favorite repairman that we knew we could trust. He checked it out and for quite some time couldn't figure out what the problem was. Finally he told us that the fridge was dying and that it wasn't worth fixing it as it would cost more than to just get another one. That was really bad news because we couldn't afford a new one or even a used one. When I asked him how long we had till it would die completely, he scratched his head and told us that it should already be dead. That was what he couldn't figure out. He said there was no way that the fridge itself should work at all and that the freezer shouldn't be freezing anything instead of just freezing some things! I told him then that I knew why it was still working - it was because the Lord knew our financial circumstances and was keeping it going till we could get another one somehow. His eyes lit up when I said that and he said that was the only thing that made any sense to him for sure!  He warned us though that without God maintaining it that it could die at any moment (and should!).  Just to be sure, I also called a couple of other repair men and got their opinions. They said the same thing: it could and should die at any minute, and they too couldn't figure out why it was running at all.

Thankfully, we also have a very old freezer (at least 35 years old I'd say) that we bought years ago (2004) for just $35 dollars, and it still works great. So we put all our frozen food in it. But that was really inconvenient as that freezer is out on the porch. So little by little we'd bring in some meat and other things and put it in the freezer of the fridge to see what would happen.  We discovered that the freezer would freeze most meat just fine.  But it would only freeze the bottom layer of a package of hot dogs and not both for some reason. Nor would it freeze bread.  But it would freeze vegetables, but not french fries or pizza. It also won't freeze ice cream, but instead the ice cream comes out like soft serve.     So then we had about a weeks worth of meat in that freezer so we didn't have to keep going out to the porch every night.  

A couple of months after all that happened with the fridge, it suddenly started working right again! I was able to take everything out of our other freezer and put it in the refrigerator freezer again! Everything freezes exactly right, even the ice cream and french fries etc LOL We just thanked and praised the Lord and haven't looked back since! To be honest though, both the refrigerator part and the freezer part are now working better then they ever have!

In 2019 we called our repair man to look at our washing machine.  When he came to fix that, he again looked at the fridge. He called his adult son to come over and check it out too because they couldn't believe it was still running!

Well, now it's 2021, and the fridge is still working. But we have been able to save up enough money to get a new one, so in August, that's what we did. What's funny is that one week after we got the new fridge, our old freezer quit working!  I couldn't fault it at all considering how long that thing had worked for us. Let's see, it was 35 years old when we got it, and it worked for 17 more years after that!  That's 52 years!!!!  God is so amazing and takes such good care of us.  I loved being able to assure people that our fridge was still working for all those years and see the look on their faces.  God made sure it worked until we had the money to buy another one.  Yes, God is good, all the time!
