Close to Home

Tonight there was a house fire near our home.
Mike and I were reading together in the front room when we heard all the sirens.
We didn't think too much of it, sirens go off frequently in the city. 
Soon a bunch of cars were parking near by and people were walking down our block.
We looked out the front window and saw orange flames reflecting in the house across the street.
We went out back and looked down the block to see fire fighters battling a huge blaze four houses down.
It was super sad to think about that family losing their home and belongings. 
Everyone made it out safe thankfully!


I snuggled next to Mike before bed feeling a bit emotional.
I was also feeling ever so grateful for our many blessings and safety which we enjoy.
This week hopefully we will hear of some way we can help the families involved.
Our prayers go out to them.
