this is a house (actually 2 houses, some sheds, and a barn) 2 houses down from us. our poor neighbors lost EVERYTHING today. since we rely on a volunteer fire department out here, it took 45 minutes for anyone to arrive at the fire... and by that time, everything was gone. it took them a couple hours to put all the fire out and it was very scary for us- i'm actually standing in front of our house taking this picture....
God blessed us today. Now may He pour his blessings out to the poor families who lost everything they own.
by the way, when we were driving home from church, we saw the smoke and actually thought it was OUR house cuz there aren't a whole lot of houses out here. we were totally freaking out and thought that WE had lost everything. it was an unbelievable feeling. and an even better feeling when we drove up and realized that our home was ok! ...it was a scary day...
