It is Australia Day this coming week. I am glad that I am an Aussie because I think that it is a great country to live in. It has such a wide variety of landscapes! There are deserts, rainforests, cities, towns, and it has droughts and floods.   It has cold rainy weather whilst other parts of the nation are experiencing heat wave conditions! It also has lots of different types of animals, such as koalas, echidnas, platypus,and lyre birds. But this is not our eternal home. We are just here for a little while, then we have the joy of being with our loving Lord Jesus and loving Heavenly Father. May we be comforted by that, in the midst of the pain we suffer day by day❤️

    

  Last week was the 160^th anniversary since The London Underground train network ( also known as The Tube)   was first opened in the UK! I didn’t know that it had been opened for so long! 

    The love of our beautiful love of our loving Lord Jesus was not “underground” when He died for us on the cross. He stretched out His loving arms, His precious blood bled to make  us clean, and then His triumphant cry of “It is finished!” was completely full of love ❤️

 There are a lot of tennis matches and tournaments held in January. It is a good time to play tennis as the weather is sunny and warm. It can sometimes though get very hot on the tennis courts for the players! There are usually big chests filled with ice bags on the courts at the Australian tennis open. Our beautiful loving Lord Jesus and loving Heavenly Father refreshes us inside every day, with their love. In the midst of our pain, they remind us of and encourage us with both the warmth of their love for us and also bountiful blessings of refreshment at the same time ❤️

 We have started a New Year, but the love of our loving Lord Jesus and loving Heavenly Father is eternal, and is not “ new” but is the same yesterday, today and forever! Our Lord is with us whatever happens each and every day of the year. They know us deeply and love us deeply❤️
