And by beautiful people, I mean the ones who know the importance of taking care of each other.
Yesterday I stopped by to see my friend who is picking up the pieces after a fire at her house. My first visit to the house it was really too dark to see much.
But for my visit yesterday it was still bright enough to see.
Stunning. In the darkness there was an eerie quality to the house. But in the daylight it was just sad. Every surface is covered in soot. It is likely they will gut the house and start over.
Absolutely shocking. One of my little ones stepped just inside the house but it was too much. The smell was overwhelming to her and the burned out kitchen was frightening.
Yet through it all, the overall good of people shines through. Another friend put together a little bag of essentials so that our friend won't have to rely on hotel supplied toiletries. People sent boxes for her to pull out the things she can save from her home. She has been given jackets and coats, scarves, hats and gloves..
Even though she has lost so much she is well aware of just how beautifully blessed she is.
Amazing.
