“Ashley Myers and her family . . . ate a breakfast of biscuits and gravy from paper plates outside the CrossPointe Community Church. The family had been at the church, now a shelter, for three days, after evacuating their home in Redding’s Westwood neighborhood . . . ‘All that matters is we’re alive.'”

As wildfires rage in many places, let us pray for those seeking shelter and those providing it.
Lord God, protect those who fight the fires, those who flee the fires and those who step up to supply food, shelter, supplies and comfort. May your people, Lord, be your hands, the cup of cold water offered in your name.
Amen
