My son is pursuing his dream of being a firefighter. He turned 16 this year and researched everything he needed to do to become a junior volunteer firefighter. He has accomplished it. I am so proud of him. A few days ago, a close friend posted this on my Facebook....
"A firefighter is being yelled at for taking too long to get there, while trying desperately to save the life of a total stranger, holding his bladder because he didn't have time to pee when the alarm sounded, starving because he missed one of his three meals, tired because the alarm sounded just as he closed his eyes and it is now 4 in the morning and missing his family while taking care of yours. Thank a firefighter."
It gives a whole new meaning to what adventures he is walking into. He has determination, strong will, and compassion for the job that will allow him to completely fulfill his dream. He has another unfair advantage. He knows Jesus. He is doing great exploits for his Lord and Savior. When he steps foot into the station, he brings the Presence of the Almighty. When he arrives on a scene, he brings the Power to raise the dead and heal the sick. When comforts a citizen, he brings hope of eternal love and life. He has the opportunity to rescue and save lives in the physical and spiritual realm. I am truly proud and blessed to have a wonderful son!!
