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.

Birch Bay

We were invited by Roy's family to Birch Bay yesterday afternoon. We stayed until shortly after dark. Then we went to the Van Cleve's as well as the Criss family and sang hymns. They talked me into playing the piano for them. It was a good time!

That was a lot of fun! I'm so glad you and your family could join us! Were your hands sore Monday after playing for us?
Blessings,
Sarah

I had a lot of fun, too! Surprisingly, my hands were not sore! It was a good workout for my fingers!
