BLOG 19

17 July 2009

We are reminded constantly of people in our lives, we are blessed with and who love us through the challenges and difficulties.

A wonderful scripture relates to this love and support from friends and family:

Love one another with brotherly affection [as members of one family], giving precedence and showing honor to one another. Romans 12: 10

We thank you all for believing in the call of God on our lives and investing in us as a family. Since my last blog, due to some respite funding from Commonwealth Carelink and Disability Services, we were able to place Julia in care with a family for 1 week and Anna & Bobby (our Mal-Shi) stayed at home with a lovely young lady from our circle of friends.

This gave Greg & I an opportunity to have a week-long holiday to Hervey Bay, Queensland. Something we have not been able to do since before having kids. We stayed at the Mantra, Hervey Bay--beautiful views over the marina and out to Fraser Island. We then decided to do something we have always wanted to do and see the Great Barrier Reef. We flew in a small prop plane to LADY ELLIOT ISLAND, the southern most island of the GBR.

We loved the peace and closeness to nature, we felt there and hope to take the kids in the school holidays, in the next year or so.

Love & Blessings, Jodster.
