Our neighbors who's house burned to the ground not too long ago sent a letter to the editor of our local paper. It brought a smile to my face, knowing HE hears our prayers. Here are a few of my favorite quotes....
Family Found More Than It Lost In Their House Fire (that was the title of the article)
In a tragic way it was worth it to lose our possessions to find our friends.
So many of you have helped us through the worst thing we have ever experienced. I don't know how to thank you but, I thank God that I have gotten to meet you!
"But mom, a lot of people have to go through things like this and they aren't lucky enough to have all these people helping them like we do." It's not often that an 11-year-old girl whose home just burned to the ground feels lucky. I thank you for that most of all.
We who prayed for them know luck didn't have anything to do with their blessings.

Thanks for sharing this, Vicki. It's amazing that they have such a positive attitude about the whole thing. That can only be a God thing!
Thanks for sharing that letter. What humility. God's peace just shines through his writing. What an amazing God we have to be able to turn something like that around!
