Answer: A. believing it is God's will.

Explanation:

Bradstreet wrote this poem after a fire that cost her her home and many material possessions. Although at first, the poem shows thankfulness for having been saved by God, later it grieves for the loss of material things. However, by the end, the poem reasons that nothing on earth is as precious as making it into heaven, showing how Bradstreet re-devoted herself to God.
