Pray for Queensland- We're Wet but Smiling!

This may be a site for worship leaders, but I still want to take the opportunity to ask for your prayer for our people and our state.

Over the last several days, I have personally had to travel through flood waters several times and our town has bee cut off from the outside world many times also.

Yet, despite the incredible disaster in our state, us Aussies are still able to smile and see things in a positive light.

I am so proud to be an Aussie tonight.  Despite the disaster, and many losing homes, income and even loved ones still have a smile, a joke and a helping hand to those around us even more in need.  My family hurts, as does every Queenslander, but us Aussies are a resilient bunch. In the face of disaster, we always have a laugh and a helping hand to others... it's the Aussie way.

So, in the middle of the heartache and difficulties, we are sharing homes, giving to each other, praying for each other and doing what we can to help those more affected than we are.  Unlike Hurricane Katrina, there is no looting, no murders and no fights to report.  It's not our way.  We generally pull together as a country.

So, appreciate your prayers if you are elsewhere in the world.  My family is high and dry, and we have plenty of provisions.  I am scheduled to go to Maryborough next week, if the Mary River behaves itself.

Bless you Guys!
