New year 2020

Happy new year. 

Since I last posted many things have been happening 

Firstly Australia is burning. 

Bushfires are rampant around our country and thousands of hectares 

Of bush is being destroyed 

Homes are burnt to the ground and people are being evacuated 

My daughter and her husbands family were at a holiday seaside town 

And they got the order to evacuate 

They moved to a town further away to wait and see. 

They saw the new year in and thankfully came home 

It was a stressful few days for this mumma let me tell you 

The fires are still raging 

And the army has been called in to rescue people who have been trapped on beaches as they can’t escape by land 

Even though we are three hours away by car from the fires. We have been blanketed by smoke 

The air quality will make anyone who has lung or heart issues worse. So we have been warned to stay in doors 

With all that going on 

I turned another year older 

It was lovely to receive all the birthday wishes on Facebook and privately 

But I just didn’t feel like celebrating with all that is going on 

We still have family in the fire zone. And for now they are safe 

But even though hubby wanted to take me out to dinner. I asked to just get some takeaway and stay home 

My birthday wish is for rain to break this drought 

For weather conditions to change and help our firefighters put out these fires 

And for everyone to through this alive and well. 

Please pray for our country to whoever you pray too 

Thank you
