Fire Family: Picnic Dinner

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.

Picnic Dinner

Yesterday evening I decided to pack up a picnic dinner and go to Berthusen Park. The kids were full of energy and bouncing off the walls so I wanted a way for them to burn off their energy and also get fresh air.

I also called my in-laws and invited them. They brought their volleyball and ladder golf. They also brought ice cream and graham crackers to make homemade ice cream sandwiches. They were delicious!!!

We had a good time!
