Happy Thankful Thursday friends. As hubby and I gazed upon what remains of the trees that fueled the fire, we are amazed that only one life was lost. It was interesting to see the "fingers" of the fire-there would be a green section of trees right next to burnt areas. I am so very thankful for the firefighters and volunteers that spent their days containing this fire and putting it out.
We know that forest fires are actually good for the earth, but somehow you wonder if there couldn't have been a little less destruction. I'm wondering how long it will take all the ash to break down in the rivers so that the water will be crystal clear again and not black.
Today I am thankful that Hunter only chewed up my cellphone and not a pair or two of glasses-which are much more expensive to replace. I am thankful that this phase will pass! I am thankful that he is a wonderful young pup, who is doing what puppies do. I am thankful that a cellphone is really an insignificant loss compared to what so many others have lost this summer in the Colorado fires.
I am thankful today that I have the security of knowing I am watched over constantly and that nothing can touch me without first being filtered through His hands.
Hoping you have a day filled with gratitude.
Noreen & Hunter
