The Lord has got me this far

The Lord has got me this far, So, why do I with Him spar, Even when the weather is fair, With no need to despair. I thank Him every day for the flowers, And the grapes on the vines, Unconditional Love and Loyalty from friends, The saving graces, That again and again and yet again remove doubts. I pray I can become more Grateful, More hopeful, More cheerful, More blissful, More thoughtful, More remorseful, More merciful, More helpful, More delightful, More beautiful, More care full. With only kindness full, With more understanding full, With more pity full, With more loyalty full, With a heart that is longing to be with Love full, With more fun full, And with more sense of wonder full. I pray I can become less spiteful, Less revengeful, Less hateful, Less doubtful, Less mournful, Less of a handful, Less distasteful, Less Harmful, Less stressful, Less sinful. With less of a temper full, With less arguments full, With less judgement full. ,

We always worry about you all in fire season. When I was in Lions years ago now they arranged for a few Aussies to come over for a break and some families billeted them for a while. Lions is a great organization. I was local president for a year. 2026 could be the year we have a real crack at winning the cricket with 4 tests against you. Will you make the Pavlova or shall we haha. keep the Bundaberg flowing our way. Been meaning to try the Rum do you export the rum here. Enough compliments would not want you to think we hold you in awe. Stay safe. David
