I am just bumping this up. This family really needs prayers and thoughts today. Please remember them. The little girl is like my little sister. I hate that she lost all of her daddy's stuff. Now she doesn't have anything.
 
The family is definitely in my prayers. How tragic; thankfully, no one died in the fire.

Saying lots of prayers...
 
Definitely praying for this family.

Thanks guys! I know they will appreciate it. I am so thankful no one was hurt!
 
I'm so sorry. We have friends who lost pretty much everything in a fire. It's devastating. I'll keep them in prayer.
 
I too, am so sorry! I know this is hard, I had a friend who lost everything in a fire. Maybe you could do a fundraiser or something for her. The theme to the fundraiser could be, a new kitchen for her. Then have all the proceeds go to her family. And if you are able to, maybe you could donate some of your comission? Just an idea.
One other thing that might be of comfort, is at least those children did not loose their Mom and Stepdad! I'm sure the loss of their father was very hard. And as devastating as loosing everything in a fire is, at least most of it can be replaced, and they all still have each other! I will pray for God's blessings for them and for the peace of God to fill them and for them to rest in Him knowing he will take care of them!
God bless you too!:)
