Praise be to God that they were kept safe by His loving care.<br /><br />I've been through a house fire before and remember how scary it was. I remember how our lives were turned upside down for a time. But, unlike your sister, we didn't lose everything, so I can only imagine how devastated she is.<br /><br />Perhaps you could start contacting those who have recieved pictures of her children over the years and begin putting together some new albums. I'm sure that would be a great encouragement to her.<br /><br />I will pray for "peace that passes all understanding"!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Liz @ the Brambleberry Cottage<br />http://thebrambleberrycottage.blogspot.com/Liz @ the Brambleberry Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15884107407813083090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7761985176448785646.post-35470550839448774482011-04-06T17:49:42.322-07:002011-04-06T17:49:42.322-07:00I am so sorry to hear what a traumatic experience ...I am so sorry to hear what a traumatic experience your sister and your family are going through.

I was at school and my husband was choring. My son was living with us but had started a new job so all were out of the house except for our cat, Scooter. It is still unreal to me and I still look for something that I once had. The most important was my daughter's wedding dress. She had just wore it a few months before. I feel for your sis. I'm so glad that no one was hurt. Things can be replaced. She has her memories that can be always ready to be recalled. Just give her bunches of hugs but don't say what can I do? Really there isn't anything just be there for her.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09219384885576540427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7761985176448785646.post-32140041522522776862011-04-02T10:57:21.319-07:002011-04-02T10:57:21.319-07:00OH CHRISTIE,

FOR ALL OF US THAT HOLD OUR HOMES IN OUR HEART THIS IS THE WORST IMAGINABLE DISASTER THAT COULD HAPPEN. MY PRAYERS FOR ALL OF YOU WILL BE EACH AND EVERY DAY AS YOU GO THROUGH THE HEALING AND REBUILDING PROCESS.

Like your sister, she was able to salvage some photographs. She'd give them up though just to have her children and grandchildren back. There were five lives lost. Her 22 year old daughter, her 20 year old son, his girlfriend and her 15 mo old and 2 and a half year old. It took me a long time to get the smell of the burned house out of my nostrils and mind. I smelled her burned flesh when I saw her in the ER, and had to tell her that her children didn't make it. I think God's Grace has touched your family. You are all going to be creating more wonderful memories together.

Thankfully both were out at the time, my d.i.l and newborn granddaughter were at their six week check-up and my son was having some equipment installed on his new to him truck. They lost everything, family heirlooms, new baby gifts, pictures and all my d.i.l's artwork, she's an awesome artist! It is a very heartbreaking time. <br />It is helping that her dad is a contractor and knows many other contractors who have dealt with fire loss and rebuilding.<br />It will be a difficult process for your sister and her children, inventory of the contents of her home is the hardest thing to do. <br />I hope she gets all the best help in the next few months navigating the insurance, fire inspection, and getting a new place to live while she tries to collect herself and her children.<br />Bless you and good thoghts pooring your way.randi1956https://www.blogger.com/profile/07086846082289190403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7761985176448785646.post-7161843263607635482011-03-21T10:00:01.833-07:002011-03-21T10:00:01.833-07:00I am truly so sorry to hear about this.

During my morning prayer time, I read my devotion scripture passage and immediately thought of your sister. <br /><br />"In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ." - 1 Peter 1 6-7<br /><br />I hope she finds comfort from friends and family during this time. I will be praying for her and her children.Jennifer @ Her Southern Charmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12070193885616991960noreply@blogger.com
