Bushfires in Victoria

Australia is in shock and mourning with the recent devastating bushfires in Victoria. 180 people are so far confirmed lost to us,and the numbers are likely to grow. There are 5000 people now homeless as a result too. The people of Australia have been incredibly generous in supporting there fellow Australians and donating money, clothes,blankets,goods and volunteering their skills to help rebuild these peoples lives.
I pray for all of these people and hope that they can only find some comfort in the generous spirit of the rest of Australia.
We have also been saddened at the loss of wildlife and again, Australians have rescued injured little creatures and helped them to recover.
