Thankfulness

The last four days have been given over to checking for updates on the fire that is closest to us-the Sand Fire. I figured the acreage it is burning daily that it could reach us in 2-3 days if the wind continued to blow north. My son and I are prepared and still praying for those who are affected by it right now and have had to evacuate. We are also praying for the firefighters putting their lives on the line each day to try and save the homes and get the fire under control. After 4 days, it is still only 25% contained but God is good and has prevented a large amount of homes from being destroyed-only 18 and one life gone because they didn't want to evacuate. It is sad when people place possessions above their own lives. We are thankful for all the people helping the evacuees, the firemen, the Red Cross, and all the other volunteers giving time, space, etc. to those involved in these fires. THANK YOU!
