Description from Kathryn R: My daughter and son-in-law live in Northern California, my sister and brother-in-law in Southern California. They live dangerously close to the raging apocalyptic wild fires ravaging California. My daughter says the smoke in San Francisco, where she lives, is horrible! My heart is breaking for them and those who had to leave their homes, only to return to embers and ashes. I pray for you, California, that out of the ashes you will rise and renew like The Phoenix.

dolllady aka Pam says:What a beautiful pick commemorating the horrific wildfires. Prayers for everyone in the area of the wildfires. It must be unbearable for people who had to leave their homes and people with allergies. Prayers for those people and the fire fighters.

Kathryn R says:Thank you, Pam. Prayers especially the firefighters, some who came from out-of-state!

Melody F says:Prayers for all who are currently in dangerous situations. Your pick is a hopeful sign that those who are affected by the fires may overcome their loss. I haven’t noticed the Phoenix button berfore.

Beady Little Eyes says:Your pick is lovely but the fires are horrid. I read that the SCU fire is approaching 350,000 acres. can’t even imagine how big that is. Very scary.

Kathryn R says:Thank you, MH! My sister is almost 80 and the heat and smoke are hard on her. My son-in-law has allergies so it’s hard on him. Praying for gentle soaking rains (NOT deluge) to stop the fires and clear the air.
