It has been years now that the Lord has put it heavy on my heart to pray for the overlooked heroes. Having a brother and a nephew that work as EMS and fire fighters changes your prospective and you tend to look a little closer at these unsung heroes. They put their life on the line for us repeatable and my Lord has opened my heart and bid me to lift them up. I do not know who all these amazing men and women are, but the Lord knows the names of each and every last one of them.
I am always humbled when He shows me something a little bit deeper, and as it was, Martin and I was treated to a tour of the CY-FAIR Fire Station in North Houston this weekend. The tour was given by Martin’s cousin Cameron.
Cameron and his friend Lieutenant Leon gave us a hands on experience of this wonderful fire department. Allowing me to climb inside the truck and touch all the equipment was an exciting experience for me, one that I will never forget.
The inside walls were lined with photos of past and present heroes and the different rescue missions that they had gone on.
I understand that it takes a brave, courageous heart to do this job. I can not even begin to comprehend what they do day in and day out, and I am so grateful!
This was definitely one of the highlights of our weekend. Two more names and two more faces that I see when I lift them up to the Lord. Thank you so much to two amazing men that serve daily!
We were given a souvenir from our trip to the fire station. A patch as a reminder. Mine will go in my prayer journal.
