Fire

So we had a fire last night.

It wasn't a big fire, though it might have been. We were home when we weren't supposed to be home, and saw the fire we wouldn't have seen, and called the fire department to put it out. Meanwhile, we tried to put it out ourselves with water, which at least kept it from getting bigger.

So I was just wondering what would have happened, had we been away in Indiana as we had planned, if my sister-in-law hadn't said we were going to have to wait for another time. I was just wondering what would have happened if we hadn't decided that going for the day was too much this time.

Our little disaster would have gone to a big disaster in just a few moments. I know many people don't think God has anything to do with our lives, and they just see circumstances. We just "got lucky."

Maybe so, but I will happily give God the glory, firmly believing he protected us. In the end, which way would you rather be wrong? If you died believing in God and there wasn't, you would have lived a moral life and died in peace and gone to nothingness. If you died believing in God did not exist and he did, you would have lived a life to please yourself and gone to whatever tormenting place.

Which mistake would you rather make?

Just wondering....
