365 Days of Praise Challenge-Day 215

It was a sad and scary day yesterday seeing how the fire has spread and come into our town. Unknown numbers of homes have burned but we are thankful that people are safe and fire fighters are safe. Our homes are like our children in so many ways. We invest alot of time and money into them and we have tons and tons of memories within them. I am thankful that those these people whose homes have been burned are alive and that they had some preparation time to get some of those things that cannot be replaced. They may not have gotten all the things out that they wanted but in the end none of it goes with us in our next life in heaven. I am not going to lie. I came home from work after stopping multiple times to take photos of what I was seeing and collected some of my scrapbooks into one spot. Tonight I will probably get out the suitcase that I packed several years ago for emergency situations. It needs to be updated with clothes that fit the kids and who knows what. I will be checking out the Red Cross website for the list of things they will have that you should have packed and ready to go in case of emergencies. We should not fear but it is good to be prepared for anything. How prepared are you for an emergency situation? How prepared are you to meet your Lord and Savior? How prepared are you if you haven't accepted Christ? Jesus will be returning and it could be at any moment.

Matthew 16:26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?
