A Brave Pledge

"I promise concern for others.

A willingness to help all those in need.

"I promise courage--courage to face and conquer my fears.

Courage to share and endure the ordeal of those who need me.

"I promise strength--strength of heart to bear whatever

burdens might be placed upon me.

Strength of body to deliver to safety all those placed within my care.

"I promise the wisdom to lead, the compassion to comfort,

and the love to serve unselfishly whenever I am called."

~Firefighter's Pledge

Not too far from where I live, there are firefighters gathered

from all over the country serving others. They put their lives on the line

to try and save the lives and homes of Texans. One

firefighter, 51 year-old volunteer firefighter Greggory Simmons has already lost

his life. I often take it for granted

that we are safe from fires, but some aren't. Some

put themselves on the line to keep us safe. Not to mention, they are

spending Easter away from their families and friends

to keep us safe.

Well, this is actually my

Monday post. But, I'm leaving for East Texas

early in the morning, and I'm not sure how available

internet is there (if it's available at all).

So, it's early. :) About the picture, I have to give my sister credit

because I would never have seen this fire truck if

she had not noticed it. Thanks Grace!

Happy Resurrection Day!!!

LIVE. LOVE. LAUGH. CAPTURE IT!
