Thread: Neighbors had a bad house fire

Tweet

Friends and neighbors of ours about a mile to the south had their house burn up early Monday morning. Not sure yet of the cause but it's likely that it was lighting as their was a lighting storm right at that time and how the fire was immediately in the attic. Mom, Dad and the three little ones made it out alright but nothing left but the clothes they had on. One of the reasons why I'm sharing this story is to show what a difference a caring community can do in peoples life. Everything was lost and within a 12 hour period, they were offered 7 different houses to live in, not to share with others but to use for themselves till they had a new one built. They are staying at a nearly new house fully furnished house till they get back on their feet. They we given a car to use and by 5:00 pm there was a 30 ft enclosed trailer with clothes toys and life essentials backed up to the donor house providing relief for them. Their 12 yr old boy loves to hunt and fish and there was two new fishing poles and a new compound fishing bow on the front porch waiting for him and I'm sure he has a new 20 gauge shotgun back by now too. This is just a brief description of what has been done for them within 12 hours time. My point is look at what people can do for people when they hurt, and I'm soo happy to be in a area where if one hurts we all hurt. If you see a neighbor in need, be the answer to their prayer, YOU can can be their answer. Helping and showing the love of Jesus one person at a time is how we get this country back from the hate we see everyday.
