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.

My Mom's B-Day

We went to Homestead for dinner for my Mom's Birthday.
The kids all put the lemons from our waters in their mouths.

A Center Piece

I bought these bears and hot chocolate mixes for my mother-in-law.
She is so creative......she turned them into a center piece! :)

I was driving down a backroad and saw this bald eagle sitting in the middle of the field.
Flying away......
