Fire!



Praise the LORD for the protection.
He sheltered my home from being razed to the ground.
He protected baby Lisette and mother Ashley from harm's way.

Last Saturday night, mother Ashley put baby Lisette's milk bottles to boil. After which, she clean forgotten about them. The next thing she realized was the house was filled with choking burning plastic fumes. Mother Ashley rushed down to switch the stove off and rush upstairs to carry baby Lisette out of the house.

Praise God that mother and baby are safe. But the house is so choke-filled with burning plastic smell, we had to evacuate the house and put up the night at grandpa's place. We returned on Sunday to face a massive cleanup job. Today's tuesday, and we are still cleaning and airing our house. As the burned plastic smell is still strong, we decided against bringing baby Lisette home for the time being. Mother Ashley and baby Lisette are currently staying in her maternal grandpa's house.

Although the cleanup is extremely tedious.
I want to thank the Lord for the protection.
Because instead of cleaning, it could have been much worse.
We could have lost our home.
Or... I could be burying my wife and child today.
