Firefighter Wife

Do you worry about your firefighter husband? I have been asked this question several times. My answer....ummm, not really. Yes, I do get some odd looks to that answer. But the truth is...God can take any one of us, at any time, according to His plan! Brad & I have been married for 2 1/2 years. When I married him I completely understood and accepted the dangers of his job. Every time Brad is on the job I know he might not come home, and I thank God when he does! But I don't worry because I know he has common sense, good training, and good instincts. Most importantly he has faith! I know if God decides to take my husband while fighting a fire, I know he will have died doing something he loves & will be in the presence of the Lord! This past week we have felt the generous outpouring of support & prayers from our community. We appreciate & love everyone of you very much! Brad was finally able to come home last night & get a full night sleep....only to get called out again today for another fire. It's just another day in our firefigher life.

A Firefighter Wife's Prayer

Heavenly Father, I'm asking You to send your angels today,

To protect my firefighter husband in a very special way.

I ask You to guide his thought and actions and keep him free from fear,

To bring him home safely again to those who hold him precious and dear.

Please show me the way to let him know I'm proud to be his wife.

I thank you Lord for giving me this man with whom I share my life.

To keep those you love safe from harm is a goal that you both share,

I pray that as he follows in your ways, you hold him in your care.
