Ashes... ashes...
I thought I would post some more pictures of the aftermath from our fire.

WOW i keep hearing that out of all these ashes and all this loss there is still hope. The Lord will bring beauty out of all this pain and loss. I am reminded of an image from my childhood. There was a forest fire that consumed a lot of land. The news followed the story for some time. A number of months after the fire they reported that grass was rising up out of the ground that was so badly burned. It hit me that life can burn you in many ways. When we abide in the vine our roots are deeper then the all consuming fire. Life continues, we grow, and become stronger. I pray for new growth to come forth from this destruction. And for a place where this needed ministry to call home (mice free!)
ReplyDeleteThank you, and amen!
DeleteI think I am hearing that the Lord will be giving you fresh manna. You'll be drawing from the well of your experience and serving it up in a fresh way.
ReplyDeleteLet it be so, Lord.
