Williams from Psalm 103 and Colossians 3:15-17 showed how Paul made it a commandment to be thankful. So many have nothing in the material and spiritual world, with little understanding of what thanksgiving is. Paul says Thanksgiving is the grace of God that floods our hearts. The first thing the Pilgrims did when they reached the new free world was preach thanksgiving- for God's protect ion. Their first congregation was made up of redskin natives and paleface Englishmen, as they were the first missionaries to America. Their first Thanksgiving came from hearts that were so thankful. What are we truly thankful for? Sometimes we are not thankful until we are depriv- ed of some things. When God blesses us we then are thankful for all the things Ile has done for us.

Rather, he takes his many blessings for granted, feeling that he, by his own strength, has earned the good things in life that he enjoys.

Kissing that old flame goodbye isn't the only way to reduce your oil consumption. If that oil furnace is still in good shape, you can take advantage of converting to a dual energy heating system. Instead of replacing your furnace, introduce it to an electric plenum heater, heat pump, electric boiler or baseboard - heaters. These dual energy systems let oil and electricity work in harmony to heat your home/nom efficiently and more economically. Operation is simple. The electric system works until the coldest winter days, then your oil furnace automatically takes over. In most cases, add-on electric beat will reduce oil consumption by up to 759/n. Even more in some cases. 11nd a reduction of that magnitude can make a dramatic difference to the total cost of heating your home. The Plenum Heater The "plenum" is the warm air chamber at the top of your forced air oil furnace. '('hat's exactly where a plenum heater is installed. So that on most days, the fan circulates more econinnical, electrically generated heat. The Heat Pump Even on cold winter nights, there is still warmth in the outside air. Just like a refrigerator, the heat pump extracts that warmth and pumps it into your home. Plus there's an added bonus. In the summer, your heat pump works in reverse and becomes a central air conditioner. The Electric Boiler if you have an oil fueled hot water heating system, them's another alter- natice. You simply add an electric boiler. Go Electric 4 It's no bigger than a small suitcase and can be easily installed. Baseboard Heaters Electric baseboards can also be used as a dual energy system. They're installed in individual rooms to quietly handle most of the heating Toad. ,l I/1/ //// ////'///i� The Time is Right Today is definitely the time to investigate the savings of introducing your oil fur- nace to an add-on electric system. The COSP (Canada Oil Substitution Pro- gram) grant will pay for half of the in- stalled cost or $800, whichever is Tess, on all systems where oil consumption is reduced by 50% or more. To find out more about the benefits of a dual energy system, contact your Local Hydro or electric heating con- tractor today and ask them about special assistance that could lead to even greater savings. And tell your furnace to get ready for a warm and meaningful relationship this winter. .1
