A Glimpse into my Afternoon

No time to write much just now, but these photos show the events at our house this afternoon.


Looks like nothing?

Now you see why they're here...


We discovered a fire in the garage, against the wall that backs onto our Utility Room.


It seems as if an electrical fault in one of our freezers was the cause.

I was so thankful that we have a local fire crew. They were at our home 16 minutes after our 999 call.

And here is the inside of our garage now.

I can't write too much just now. We are having dinner at my sister-in-laws. I could write and write about the number of causes for thankfulness I have. There are so many, and I will write as soon as I can.

    WOW! I am sure glad that they got there quick and put out the fire quickly. I am also glad that nobody was hurt.

    What a mess! However, like you said so many reasons to be thankful! Praise God for an emergency team that was there when called.

    Love and prayers, we are shocked for you; I hope you'll be upheld as you work to get things back to normal. And like you say, much cause for thankfulness, so wish we were nearby to support you. Hxx

    Yikes! I hope it stayed in the garage and didn't make it through to your utility or the rest of the house!

    I'm so glad you and your family are okay! It could have been so much worse. Is there much smoke damage in the other areas of the house?

    Thank you all for your comments, and your thoughts and prayers.
    The verse on the plaque is: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16

    That says it all... the Gospel in a nutshell...

    Thank you all again x
