The other night we decided to have our Family Devotion by firelight. We had recently had our chimney inspected (thanks Gene) and been cleared to have fires in our house. In any other context, having as fire in one’s house would be frowned upon, but we assured our concerned Rachael that it’s okay to have a “bonfire” in our home. (Funny how she wasn’t so trusting of our judgement at first since all of her experiences with fires have been outside).
So post-bath, we enjoyed a nice cup of hot chocolate each and settled in around the fireplace for with our family Bible.

It was fun to celebrate our first fire of the season with the awe of our small and antsy-pants kids. =)

– Here’s to many more fireside experiences this season.
