Our pastor shared a story about a family who were victims of the Waldo Canyon Fire. This family has a couple of elementary age girls in it and the last thing they did before leaving their home to evacuate was to take some sidewalk chalk and drew a large heart on their driveway. Inside the heart they wrote, "God, please save our home". When they were able to return to their home which was one of the 347 that burned down, they found the driveway untouched and the heart and message to God still there. That, in itself, was a message from God. We aren't home yet. Our houses are temporary, our stuff temporary. God is eternal. Life with him is eternal. Another message in this from God is that though we live in this fallen world which is full of sin and evil and tribulations, God is always with us through it all. We often hear the words, "never forget" when it comes to people who have lost their lives, when tragedy has happend. God doesn't want us to forget him. Never forget He is always with us. Never forget how much he loves us. Never forget our home with Him is yet to come.
