Comments about ‘Friday Minute: Gratitude after the fire’

We, too, lost our home to fire when we were away. Within seconds of hearing of the loss of our possessions, we understood that floods, fires -- whatever -- are nothing compared to the safety of our family members.

Since then, it's hard to think of any **thing** as valuable. Only people and relationships are valuable.

This isn't to say we shouldn't experience shock, or loss when these happenstances occur. It's OK to feel momentarily lost... needy...

But **we** are the stuff eternity is made of. Not things.

Love to all who have suffered loss ~

It's difficult to imagine the emotional and physical loss that occurs with a fire such as this when you've never experienced that. Those "things" play a large part in our lives, especially items as his scriptures. Thoughts, comments are in those scriptures and many experiences with those are gone and that is a terrible loss. I'm grateful the family was not physically harmed. I think it is wonderful the firemen were able to save photos, etc. It is my hope the Webb's will once again feel comfort in a home and continue to be grateful they were not at home when this occurred. I pray the Lord's choicest blessings will be upon them as they recover from such a loss.
