PRAISE THE LORD!!! We just found out our house and our neighbors on our street all SURVIVED this horrible fire. If you look at the map of the fire there is just a little notch where there was no damage. We are in that tiny spot! (one the northwest side of Grand Lake in the map). There is sooo much loss, five of our very good friends lost their homes - burned to the ground - nothing left. One is a firefighter herself, who has educated families on how to have a plan. This whole community is just devastated. So. hard to be joyful when so many of our dear neighbors are suffering so much.
but prayers will continue for all that were not that lucky. So sad for everyone who lost so much
Your generous heart will help so many of your friends Jan.
God bless you. Love Chris
"Thank you, Jan. We are staying at (her kids home). My Daughter in Law's parents are also here as they lost their home on Tuesday. We had a good evening last night of praying, crying and sharing memories. Definitely hardest on Logan (the youngest son) so being here together is so very very important. One day at time and together we are going to make it through this. Praying that through this, we will continue to rest in His promises and confidently walk in faithfulness. It is an open door for our family to share the gospel to so many people. They are asking how we are doing, an of course it is the Lord that protected us and gives us peace. What an opportunity we have been given."
