Miraculously Flame-retardant
We had to say some serious prayers of gratitiude today, that our home and family did not go up in flames last night! This morning at breaskfast my dear six-year-old opened the kitchen cupboard to show me that a candle was still burning--inside the cupboard--that he had lit last night without anyone else knowing! Really, it must be by the grace of God that nothing bad happened. There are two faint brownish spots on the shelf above where the candle with three lighted wicks sat burning for probably 10 hours. That's all. Amazing. I thought I was grateful for my family before, but something so nearly catastrophic makes you feel it all the more. And I guess some things are going to have to be locked up since he seems to find any hiding place for dangerous items.
