Friends of ours recently lost all of their material possessions in a house fire that consumed everything, except them and their pets. It was devastating. I was blown away by the complete destructive power of fire. My heart has been so heavy for my dear friend. Nothing I could do but pray, offer clothes, and gift cards. Prayer, of course, has been most important. But my heart still breaks for them and their loss.
It’s been so hard to watch them grieve but so wonderful to watch people reach out and help them. Some haven’t even known them. Some have been good friends. But all have been "Jesus with feet" to my dear friend and her family.
Yesterday they got to pick up their children from their grandmother’s house. I am so humbled by God working to bring this family back together for Christmas. It seems like all of life is okay just because they are now together.
I know there will be times when certain material possessions are missed, making them sad. But I also know Jesus is there to rebuild what no man can…..a family.
Join me in prayer and praise for this beautiful family God is rebuilding.
What a Christmas!
I praise you Lord Jesus!
IN HIM….
I'm so sorry for your friend. Next to losing a child, a house fire would be my worst nightmare. How I pray that people continue to give. I know that just being together for them will be the best Christmas ever. Praising God that He spared their lives…
Love, Kathryn
Praying for your friends…and knowing they are lucky to have you as one of theirs.
Miss you and your kiddos!
