Havoc and destruction hits then life returns with clear blue skies. God smiles down His love down upon the weiry. We at Gympie are getting back to normal. May we all learn a lesson of always giving our best, lending a helping hand, opening our homes in hospitality and listening with empathy to the pain of another. <br />God Bless.Sr Crystal Mary Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509227559164880311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-128177199799267112.post-11743488486932590062011-01-24T00:38:07.500-08:002011-01-24T00:38:07.500-08:00Every little bit makes a difference, Dale.

I've felt proud of the generosity of our Aussie spirit revealed in almost every TV interview. So many folk who'd lost so much said they were just so grateful they'd not lost their lives. Even so, it has been heartwarming to see both young and older folk willing to sacrifice time and effort to help in any way they canRita Galiehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586506137798711397noreply@blogger.com
