Oh No!

About a month ago, we were all home and heard a big BOOM! We went outside to see this . . . 2 doors down the house was on fire! Thankfully, the family of 4 wasn't home at the time. Their Golden Retriever Scout was though but eventually made it out safe - after he bit the fireman! It was an awful thing to watch - tragic, all possessions and a home lost . . . yet at the same time thankful that life was spared. It definitely puts things in perspective. The first words out of Eve's mouth "Mommy, what if our house burned down?" And the answer "If that happened, then God would take care of us." My Beth Moore Bible study on the book of Esther was just talking about that same thing: If anything (fill in your own worst nightmare), then God. We can't live in fear of what might happen - instead TRUST HIM if (or when) it does!






Eli's reaction pretty much sums it all up. Thoughts and prayers and community-wide help continue for this family.
