Today was another reminder about how truely blessed we are. I was headed to work this morning when I began to see thick dark smoke ahead of me. I knew it was a house fire but I could not tell at that point what house. As I got closer I could see the flames pouring out of the upstairs bedroom of my Uncle's home. I stopped as quickly as I could safely and saw the back side of the house engulfed in flames. I parked my car and ran over to the house to make sure everyone was out of the house and were safe. No one was in the house and everyone was safe. The house is a total loss. A few of the family pictures were saved and some other items but that is about all. How grateful I am for my family and the safety that was provided. The love and support that we have as a family unit is irreplaceable and priceless.
I am so grateful for all of the many blessings that we have...they are far too many to even begin to list. I am grateful for the Gospel in our lives that helps us get through times like these, for the support and comfort it provides. I am grateful for our Savior and the trials He went through for us. I am grateful for the generosity and love of those neighbors, church members and community members who have already stepped forward to help in any way they could, even in the simple prayers they have offerred in my Uncle's behalf. I pray that we may see the positives and the blessings that will come from the events of today.

Mom told me about the house just last night. I could not believe it. I am so grateful that he is ok and that no one was hurt. Sad that it had to happen, but like you said, I hope that we can all see the blessings that this will bring. I am also, so happy to hear that he is going to church. That is fantastic! We will remember to keep him in our prayers.
