Finding the blessing in the tragedy

One week ago we had a house fire. We all were okay thanks to Gods protection. Alot of internal damage and things that will need replaced and thats okay. Thats what we have State Farm for!

We are now living in this nice little two bedroom hotel room. Yes all 6 of us are living in a two bedroom hotel room. We have all learned that inside voices are a must and that we all have to share our sleeping space with others. For now this is home to us and we are making the most of it. Clean linens everyday. Free breakfast. We are finding much needed rest while our house is remodeled. New floors. New walls. New air condition unit. New paint and all new bedroom furniture for everyone. This was truly a blessing within a tragedy. I did cry when I first entered the house after it happened. This was the house i grew up in. This house has sooo many memories of my childhood and is were we have chosen to raise our children. Its home to us and we almost lost it all.

But God took what Satan intended for evil and turned it into Good! Satan once again lost a battle against the Wells family. Our God is bigger than anything we face. Yes we are stuck in this hotel for weeks to come BUT we will have a remodeled house to go home to when its over. So for now we will enjoy the maid service that comes everyday and the cook who makes us breakfast.
