of firefighters

huh. big fire today in my husband's district. on his shift. four firefighters got hurt.
but my husband just happened to be off this week. so i worried for his fellow workers. i know them well. i know their families well.
a friend called me to ask if husband was working and i said no, and then found out later he was checking to see if it was him.
how would i feel if i got the call? your husband has been hurt. he's at the hospital. deep down i know i wouldn't be scared. i'd be really really concerned, but i know he'll always be ok.

none of his firefighters were hurt. it was the other station. and i felt horrible because i was so relieved.
i made my husband promise that he would always call right away so that i wouldn't hear on the news about it, or have someone call and say, hey, is the husband working at that fire? did he get hurt?
i'd hate that.
but husband said you don't want the fire chief's car pulling up in front of your house. they always give you bad news in person. i'd probably lock the door and tell him to go away, he's got the wrong wife.
i'm so thankful to God that everyone is ok.
so again, i put it from my thoughts. husband will always be ok. he's very good at his job. he loves his job. and i trust him. but mostly i trust God.
