Australia truly is a country of wonders. What other country has cyclones and floods on one side while elsewhere 74 houses are burnt to the ground due to a ferocious bush fire.
These recent bush fires were really close to home for me. My Uncle and Auntie were required to evacuate their home and while nothing of theirs was damaged, several people of our Church community lost their houses to the ferocious blaze. This fire did not cover a large amount of ground as many previous bush fires have, BUT the number of houses destroyed is still catastrophic. the scariest part of all is that many of the houses are in what you may consider suburbia. We can really be thankful to our Heavenly Father that no lives were lost and that although many people are now without homes and will have to completely rebuild, the loss is only material.
