Praise the Lord for His protection! Yesterday, we had a knock on our door during dinner. Our neighbor from next door came running over to tell us that a fire had started in her backyard. It was spreading very fast, and the wind was blowing it towards our house and the summer cabin next to our house. The guys grabbed wet towels, and were trying to hit the fire down until the emergency crews could get there. The Lord allowed them to keep it just feet away from the summer cabin next to our house; He also protected the neighbor's house and our house, as well as protecting all of the guys that were trying to put it out! It was a scary thing being told to evacuate the house with the girls...Rob asked me if there was anything I wanted to take with me, and I couldn't think of anything but my purse! Maggie was praying non-stop in the van...so precious to see her childlike faith. It really made Rob and I thankful for eachother, our girls, and also reminded us of how unimportant our earthly things are. The pictures above are the summer cabin in between us and our neighbor's house...you can see the burned grass and trees behind the cabin. |
Glad everyone/everything was safe! Praise the Lord!
