The Fire


What is so mystifying about a campfire? Is it the heat that warms the heart, the allure to touch it, but it may burn you? It is amazing to me when you gather a group of people or an individual after dark with a fire blazing how silence moves over the area like a dense fog. All you hear is the natural surroundings orchestrating their own masterpiece before you. Everyone sits quietly staring into the burning flames and glowing hot coals. It is memorizing, relaxing and soothing. I truly believe the campfire heals the troubled heart and mind, at least for a moment in time. The fire pauses the crazy world around us and comforts our souls.
Proverbs 26:20
Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down.
