Ashes to ashes....

Last week my mother in law went into her bathroom and flipped the light switch. For some reason the light didn't turn on. She went to leave when she smelt something burning. She touched the wall but didn't feel any heat, so then she went into the shower and it was blazzing hot. She called in my father in law who touched the light and burnt his hand. So they decided to call the fire department. Long story short the wire had stripped over the years and was touching the wood and started it on fire.. If my mother in law hadn't gone in that bathroom that night who is to say what could have happened. It makes me grateful that the lord looks out for us in ways we don't often realize till later..
The firemen had to take out the insolation that was burning and in the process, one of them fell through the ceiling in the hallway.. Bet he felt dumb... This is the insolation that was burntOh and if your wondering where I was during all of this.. I was sleeping peacefully in the basement :)
