Our Corps Newsletter contained the following from one of the Soldiers.
CHRISTMAS IN AUSTRALIA
In our lovely golden land
Fringed by sand and surf and sea,
Wide open plains, cool gullies, deep,
Mountain tops of mystery.
This is our home, Australia –
And we long for it to be
A land where Christ is worshipped
In truth, and joyously.
We pray that, at this Christmas time,
Through tinsel, noise and fuss,
We clearly hear the Gospel news,
Christ lived and died for us.
Lived and died, and rose again,
Our living Lord to be.
Oh, may our land, Australia,
Worship His Majesty.

"This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.

Thank you for your recent posts. With my northern hemisphere bias it's so strange to think of carols and cricket, Christmas and sunny beaches! God bless. John.
