Our eyes see the images, and our hearts turn to those fighting the wildfires.
Lord, honor their dedication. Protect them as they protect others. Keep them safe.
On the capitol grounds in Sacramento, there’s a lasting tribute to firefighters who didn’t make it safely home:
“The centerpiece of the California Firefighters Memorial is a stunning brushed limestone Memorial Wall with the names of more than 1,300 California firefighters who have died in the line of duty since 1850.”
More than 1,300 lives. We need to pray.
Amen.
