I live in Texas and for awhile this spring I thought we were just going to float downstream into Mexico. It rained and rained and then rained some more. Anytime someone would complain, I would remind them that we had been in a drought for a long time and we really had no right to complain about the rain. At least we had no right to complain until my daughter noticed that my roof was leaking into her attic closet. Then I could have complained but I didn’t, I called my homeowner’s insurance company instead.

They sent an insurance adjuster out to my home and he took a look at my attic and took a bird’s eye view of my roof. He said it was the rain guard around the vents in my roof that were leaking. I had noticed a little bit of blue sky as I looked up at the vents so I figured he was right in the assessment of the situation. We discussed how to get it fixed and agreed that the home builder should have the rain guards covered under their warranty. I put the warranty request in today. I don’t know if they will take care of it or not but if they don’t I know some roofers who can take care of it.

In other words it was no big deal. If all else fails the next time it the skies unload the rain, I will put a bucket in the attic closet and collect the rain water for my plants.

The insurance adjuster said in his assessment of my roof that it looked great. I was so pleased. Every time it storms I pray that God will protect me and my God has not failed even once. When the insurance adjuster told me my roof looked great, I sent a silent praise up to God for his protection, acknowledging that it was Him who protected my home. There was nothing in the world that I could have done to stop the large hail that hit some homes nearby, nor anything to stop the floods seeping through my doors. All I could do was pray and prayer was enough. God is Good!
