Please help!

One of our toilets froze up last night. It won't flush. What is a safe way to thaw it out? Can I put warm water in the toilet bowl? I think that hot water might crack the bowl.
Actually we got them unfrozen once (and we checked the water meter. It didn't look like we had a leak - but we're really concerned now.) We had below 0 again last night! Frozen again!! We're having very unusual weather here in Arkansas! Our homes probably just aren't made for this. We are in our 70's and we can't crawl under the house.
Thanking you in advance!
 
where are you to get that temp, it was 7 in my car thermometer this morning

warm water in the toilet bowl wont do as its the supply to the cistern that will be froxzen

you need to trace it back and try a hair dryer on it where it is frozen briefly
 
put a warm air fan heater in the loo over night, and flush with a bucket of water when needed.
