Balloon 4

Thank-you, Lord, for those who will risk their lives for others.

If I were following the pattern that is emerging, I would be talking about Ben today.  There are no rules for this, so I am going to go a different direction today. 

As I returned home from an errand, all of our community's fire trucks were in the road and the fire fighters were at the neighbors house.  It was only a small electrical fire that was quickly contained with little damage, but it made realize how thankful I am for these folks.

There usually isn't a lot of adventure associated with our small town Fire and Rescue department.  It is strictly a volunteer department, though the City does pay a small stipend for their troubles.  All of their members give their personal time for hours and hours of training.  I know these people would be there in the event of a large fire or accident to help anyone in need, and for only $5 per call.  Truly these are brave people who do it for the love of others.

Thank-you, Lord, for those who will risk their lives for others.
