Fire Day 5

This morning I was awakened to the strong smell of smoke.  It has invaded everything.  I am at a loss for words today, yet a ball of emotions.  Jan lost her house.  The fire came roaring right down her street, burning everything in it's path.  Flying W. is no more.  Our old home near Ute Valley is most likely gone.   Over 6200 acres gone with 32,000 people evacuated.  It feels like we are in a dooms day movie.  We are praying that we will not have to evacuate.  So much devastation, I cannot even begin to write it all down.  Jan is here, along with the dogs.  Everything she owns in this world is in my garage.  I am honored that she is with us.  It's funny how things get put in perspective when something like this happens.  We have each other. My children and my husband are healthy and we are safe.  Jan is safe and healthy.  We are blessed.  When I read my devotion this morning, it said to praise God in all things because he is above ALL things.  Lord, we praise you.
