Thank you Ginger and Charlotte for hosting Spiritual Sundays. Check out their blog for more.I lost my home and almost everything I owned in a fire a number of years ago. As bad as that was something wonderful came out of it. I realized that I was shown kindness, support and encouragement, not only by my friends, but casual acquaintances and strangers as well.
The first thing I purchased for my new home was a wall plaque. It is a brass plaque on walnut which says:
LORD
help me to remember
that nothing is going to
happen to me today
that you and I together
can't handle.
I still have that plaque hanging in my home and I have found the words to be true.
P.S. Go Steelers

How wonderful God uses every situation to show us Himself and most often that is through others. Sorry for your loss and happy for your discovery of support and encouragment comes from places we never imagine.
Go go steelers for 2.
We have that same saying on our wall - actually a handmade one. What a blessing to remember those words.
Ooo, that's really a good thought. Thanks for sharing. Happy Spiritual Sunday.
What wonderful words to read everyday. I'm sorry about your home, but I am glad God was with you during that time.

Thank you for your post. I am sorry you had to go through such a loss. I just know that Jesus feels our hurts and that He won't waste them. He will use them for His glory and for blessing on His people, including ourselves. I can't imagine the feelings that would accompany a fire. I am thankful He has proven Himself faithful to you.
I thought I was registering for SS but I think my name was added to last weeks list. I do look forward to getting to know more believers through these blogs.

So sorry for the loss of your home to fire - that must have been terrible...but the placque says it all. We don't have to go it alone! Thanks for an inspiring Spiritual Sundays post.
