BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

I received this email from a dear friend. Thank you Sera.

~~ Beauty of a Woman ~~

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,

The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes,

Because that is the doorway to her heart,

The place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,

But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives,

The passion that she shows.

The beauty of a woman

With time, only grows..

It is well with my soul

His peace is perfect

Listen to the whisper

It is well

It is well

With my soul.

Prayers for the bushfire victims

Last Saturday was a totally new experience for me!!!! We hear about it in the media but to actually see it....my goodness!!! By 4 o'clock on Saturday...the atmosphere had turned dark orange(sort of) from the smoke and it was sooooooo hot....46 - 48 degrees(like being in an oven). We were on alert because the wind that fueled the fire was so strong and it could change direction any minute. Talk about the sun and moon turning red!!!!

I just packed up a few valuables and headed for my friend's place. People were out either on the streets or in their driveway just watching the fire and smoke in the distance.....At my friend's place, we hosed down her house-especially the roof!!! On the same day the temperature dropped from 48 degrees to 24 at night!!! Sleep was the last thing on our minds so we drove around the neighbourhood just checking out areas being affected.

Fast forward to today.....It's alot calmer now and the temperature is in the low 20's.

As I write this, my prayers and thoughts go out to the many Victorians who have lost everything during the devastating bushfire and the courageous firefighters who are still out battling the fires. Just listening to stories of survival and desperation to find missing loved ones brings tears to anyone's eyes.
