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.

My Mother-In-Law

Please keep my mother-in-law in your prayers. She had a stroke last Tuesday and has been in the hospital since. She has made a lot of progress but has a long road ahead of her. I've included the link to the blog Roy's brother started to keep everyone updated on her progress! We don't know what God has in store, but pray that through this trial we give Him the glory.

A tradition we've done since the first grandchild.

Now it's the next generation.
