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.

Christmas

Christmas morning at the Van Cleve's
Getting ready to open presents
The VC men opening their gift
VC ladies opening their gifts
Gracie opening her presents from Grandpa and Grandma VC
Gracie's new bonnet
Grandma helping Gracie put on her new apron and bonnet.
She wants to wear it everyday!
Carson opening his presents
A new mug, he loves it!
My Mom's Christmas tree and all the presents.
Christmas at my Mom's
She started it out with acting like a reporter and interviewing the kids about the first Christmas.

Gracie got the new Tinkerbell movie..... .....and a Tinkerbell doll.
Carson and Gracie opening their presents
Opening presents at home
Gracie with her new Tinkerbell hat.
