WORKS OF FIRE

My daughter sent me videos of her 2-yr-old son enjoying a fireworks display. It showed him at smiling at the sky, but in one thoughtful frame also showing another thought, as he whispers, "kowai" (scary). He must've been referring to the repeated bangs he heard. That's a lot of power.

During Sunday's after-worship fellowship, we talked about how some things are like fire. We can use and thank God for them, but they can lead to scary things, like explosions, violence, hurt if used wrongfully. Pray that Yusei see God gave him a mind to be used, not to create blasts to melt bones, but able to make beautiful blooms in the night sky ("FlowerFire" is the Japanese word for fireworks).
