Fire Family

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.

For those who don't know, my mom is taking my brothers and their wives as well as Roy and I to Hawaii! It is our Christmas present! We leave Thanksgiving in the evening to go to Seattle where we will spend the night and get up early Friday morning to get on our flight to Hawaii! We fly into Kona, then Saturday morning we fly to Honolulu and go to the Cougar's game. We fly back to Kona Sunday and spend the week there. We return late Friday, Dec. 5, night. I will have lots of pictures to share when we get back!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!

My little pirate

Gracie asked me to put a bandanna on her head and she got her eye patch out to be a pirate. She went around saying "Arr Mateys". She was also singing "Blessed be the Name of the Lord". How many pirates have you heard praising God? It was really cute!

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!
