Fireman's Prayer

When I am called to duty, God,
Whenever flames may rage;
Give me strength to save some life,
Whatever be its age.

Help me embrace a little child
Before it is too late
Or save an older person
From the horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert
And hear the weakest shout,
And quickly and efficiently
To put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling
And to give the best in me
To guard my every neighbor
And protect his property.

And if, according to my fate,
I am to lose my life,
Please bless with your protecting
My children and my wife.

4th of July!

I like dressing the kids in patriotic colors on the 4th of July! They have a few outfits I have to choose from. They wore a couple different ones, so of course I took pictures!

We went to a park in Bellingham to watch the fireworks.

The Fireworks!


Our friends, Greg and Danielle, with Roy and the kids. Gracie didn't want to open her eyes.
