Today’s Thursday Thought is of the families affected by the fires in Victoria. I’ve watched the news night after night and I can’t help but admire the courage these people have after all they have been through. I am so proud to be an Australian at the moment. Well more than normal, and I’m always proud that I’m Australian. But to watch the donation pour in for the relief fund, to watch some of our best actors, musicians and sports stars take the time to go into these communities or man the phones for the telethon tonight and the fact that so much has been raised. All I can say is “Well done Australia”.This is going to be a long and hard road to recovery for many people and communities, let’s not forget them in the months ahead.

Hi Sandie,
It is so devestating isn't it. But hopefully with all the donations pouring in these people will have some hope in their lives to continue.
