Another Day, Except for the California Fires

It's another day for many
however, for a select few;
it's a time to deal with heartaches
and to figure out, "What to do?"

Every time this happens
it violates even more,
and the question asked is, "Why our God...
....would allow this, and whatever for?"

God isn't who caused all of this distress
or all individual calamities,
it's because Adam and Eve picked the fruit
off of one, and not the other trees.

Fire season in California
is overwhelming, to say the least.
Adam and Eve caused this to happen
when they first released the "beast".

I believe my God in heaven
is mourning too, you see.
Disasters strike, and God gets the blame
from all, including you and me.

So lets get our wits about us
and help all who've been condemned,
by sharing what God's blessed us with
proving that God still remains our friend.
