The catastrophe fire storms have left so many people homeless, lives lost and stock killed and thousands of miles of bush and wildlife destroyed . Can there be any hope for those who are in the midst of all of this? I was watching the news and taken by the hope that one farmer has. He was all but burnt out yet in a paddock that had been singed by fire and surrounded by devastation there was a horse who had just given birth to a new foal.The farmer saw this as a sign, and it gave him a great sense of hope. Amidst the fire storm there was new life,a blessing, a new beginning and a quote came to my mind: 'Hope is like the sun, which,as we walk towards it, casts a shadow of our burdens behind us.'

May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in all ways.
Anne, servant of the Lord.
